Difference between Fissile material and Nuclear weapon

Fissile material vs. Nuclear weapon

In nuclear engineering, fissile material is material capable of sustaining a nuclear fission chain reaction. 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).

Similarities between Fissile material and Nuclear weapon

Fissile material and Nuclear weapon have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Enriched uranium, Gamma ray, Half-life, Isotope, Isotopes of neptunium, Neutron, Nuclear chain reaction, Nuclear fallout, Nuclear fission, Nuclear fission product, Plutonium-239, Uranium-233, Uranium-235.

Enriched uranium

Enriched uranium is a type of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium-235 has been increased through the process of isotope separation.

Gamma ray

A gamma ray or gamma radiation (symbol γ or \gamma), is penetrating electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.

Half-life

Half-life (symbol t1⁄2) is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value.

Isotope

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number.

Isotopes of neptunium

Neptunium (93Np) is usually considered an artificial element, although trace quantities are found in nature, so thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given.

Nuclear chain reaction

A nuclear chain reaction occurs when one single nuclear reaction causes an average of one or more subsequent nuclear reactions, thus leading to the possibility of a self-propagating series of these reactions.

Nuclear fallout

Nuclear fallout, or simply fallout, is the residual radioactive material propelled into the upper atmosphere following a nuclear blast, so called because it "falls out" of the sky after the explosion and the shock wave have passed.

Nuclear fission

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei).

Nuclear fission product

Nuclear fission products are the atomic fragments left after a large atomic nucleus undergoes nuclear fission.
