Nuclear weapons

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Lenny and I'm student at Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies of Technical University in Kosice. I'm going to talk today about nuclear weapons. I would like to divide my presentation into two parts. Firstly, I'll talk about the A-bomb and fission. Secondly, I'll define the H-bomb and fusion reactions. If you don't mind, we'll leave the questions until the end. THE BOMB The …

…is of the order of one or several megatons - roughly a thousand times the yield of an A-bomb. Explosions of up to 60 megatons have been tried with great success, and there seems to be no limit to the suicidal madness that nature will let us get away with. That brings me to the end of my presentation. Thank you for your attention and if you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them.
