Nuclear Power Nuclear bombs involve the forces — strong and weak — that hold the nucleus of an atom together, especially atoms with unstable nuclei. There are two basic ways that nuclear energy can be released from an atom. In nuclear fission, scientists split the nucleus of an atom into...
With depleted uranium, it is possible to create extremely heavy, strong and narrow bombs that have tremendous penetrating force. But there are problems with using depleted uranium. Tactical Nuclear Weapons The problem with depleted uranium is the fact that it is radioactive. The United States ...
When the first A-bomb exploded 78 years ago, the world was shocked. So were the people next door to where it was made.

So do they all have national security doctrines that are technically illegal under international law? Boyd van Dijk I think it’s a very interesting question about whether the use of nuclear weapons can ever fall in line with what our international law principles for regulating armed conflict, ...
And nuclear bombs are the best answer, Wie said. A Hypervelocity Asteroid Intercept Vehicle (HAIV) mission architecture, which blends a hypervelocity kinetic impactor with a subsurface nuclear explosion for optimal fragmentation and dispersion of hazardous near-Earth objects (NEOs), has been developed...
There are various other important differences that stop nuclear power plants from turning into nuclear bombs. In particular, nuclear bombs have to be assembled in a very precise way and detonated so that they implode (pushing the nuclear material together so it reacts properly). These conditions ...
There are two types of atomic explosions that can be facilitated by Uranium-235: fission and fusion. Fission, simply put, is a nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus splits into fragments (usually two fragments of comparable mass) all the while emitting 100 million to several hundred mill...

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy warned the Soviet Union that if they launched missiles from Cuba against any country, the U.S would be forced to use nuclear weapons on Russia. The issue was resolved when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev called for the removal of the Soviet missiles from Cuba....
