2023年7月14日 · An explosion at a uranium enrichment plant in Russia's Urals region on Friday prompted Russia's state nuclear corporation to publish a statement to ease fears.

A nuclear explosion is an explosion that occurs as a result of the rapid release of energy from a high-speed nuclear reaction. The driving reaction may be nuclear fission or nuclear fusion or a multi-stage cascading combination of the two, though to date all fusion-based weapons have used a fission device to initiate fusion, and a pure fusion ...

2023年5月15日 · A viral video of a huge explosion near the city of Khmelnytskyi in Western Ukraine has been shared widely along with unverified claims that a "depleted uranium" storage facility was hit and ...

2023年7月14日 · Yuri Slezkin, 65, died at the Ural Electrochemical Combine in Russia after a cylinder holding depleted uranium hexafluoride 'depressurised', the factory said. State nuclear corporation Rosatom -...

2024年12月16日 · Atomic bomb, weapon with great explosive power that results from splitting the nuclei of a heavy metal such as plutonium or uranium.

2014年6月5日 · This is known as a chain reaction and is what causes an atomic explosion. When a uranium-235 atom absorbs a neutron and fissions into two new atoms, it releases three new neutrons and some binding energy.

2023年7月14日 · More than 100 people have been hospitalized and one person was killed after an explosion at a uranium enrichment plant in Russia's Urals region—the largest of its kind in the world—according to...

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

2023年8月1日 · Christopher Nolan's movie Oppenheimer, released during Russia's continuing war with Ukraine, has renewed public interest in atomic weapons just as the risk of a nuclear conflict heightens. But...

Many contemporary uses of uranium exploit its unique nuclear properties. Uranium is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons because it is the only naturally occurring element with a fissile isotope – uranium-235 – present in non-trace amounts.
