Log–log plot comparing the yield (in kilotonnes) and mass (in kilograms) of various nuclear weapons developed by the United States. The explosive yield of a nuclear weapon is the amount of energy released such as blast, thermal, and nuclear radiation, when that particular nuclear weapon is detonated, usually expressed as a TNT equivalent (the ...
A one-kiloton explosion is equivalent to detonating one-thousand tons of TNT, also a one-megaton is equivalent of one-million tons of TNT. The explosion of one ton of TNT releases approximatly 4.2 × 1012 joules of energy; for comparison, it takes almost 6.0 ×104 joules to warm up a cup of coffee.
14 Σεπ 2024 · The explosive yield of atomic bombs is measured in kilotons (one kiloton equals the explosive force of 1,000 tons of TNT) while the explosive power of thermonuclear bombs is frequently expressed in megatons (one megaton equals the explosive force of 1,000,000 tons of TNT).
with plutonium weapons, and the low yield of the first test – on the order of 1 kiloton – is evidence of the need to test such weapons before deployment. Plutonium (chemical symbol Pu, originally suggested as a joke by Glenn Seaborg) has 94 protons, two more than uranium. It also has several isotopes, with Pu-239 being most useful in
12 Οκτ 2024 · Nuclear weapons produce enormous explosive energy. Their significance may best be appreciated by the coining of the words kiloton (1,000 tons) and megaton (1,000,000 tons) to describe their blast energy in equivalent weights of the conventional chemical explosive TNT.
A nuclear weapon is a explosive device that uses a controlled uncontrolled nuclear chain reac4on to release huge amounts of energy. Nuclear weapons make use of one or two forms of interac4ons between atoms: Fission: uses a neutron to split a nucleus to release neutrons that split more nuclei to create a supercri4cal fission process.
• 1-kiloton nuclear weapon is one, which produces the same amount of energy in an explosion, as does 1 kiloton (1,000 tons) of TNT. • 1-megaton weapon would have the energy equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT. One megaton is equivalent to 4.18 x 1015 joules.
