Why are nukes so radioactive?

The residual radiation from a nuclear explosion is mostly from the radioactive fallout. This radiation comes from the weapon debris, fission products, and, in the case of a ground burst, radiated soil. Their principal mode of decay is by the emission of beta particles and gamma radiation.

What is the difference between atomic bomb and nuclear weapon?

What is the difference between an atomic and a nuclear bomb? Nuclear bombs are of two types �� those that depend on fission, like atomic bombs, and those that depend on fusion, like hydrogen bombs. Hence, every atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb, but every nuclear bomb is not an atomic bomb.

Are there any real nuclear weapons in the world?

Many of the nuclear explosion videos we have all seen and presumed real are shown to be complete fakes using model trees, houses and cars exploding on a set.

Is the fact that’nukes’don’t exist?

The fact that ‘nukes’ do not exist is as obvious& self-evident as the flat, non-hurtling through space while freaking rotating earth upon which we stand. Wake up! If nukes existed we’d have all been vaporized in 1962. Human beings, especially the ego maniacs in power, have no concept of restraint.

Who are the five countries that have nuclear weapons?

Five are considered to be nuclear-weapon States (NWS) under the terms of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). In order of acquisition of nuclear weapons these are: the United States, Russia (the successor state to the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, France, and China.

Where does the energy from a nuclear bomb come from?

Nuclear weapon. A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions ( thermonuclear bomb ). Both bomb types release large quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter.
