What is Nuclear Bomb?

During the second World War, there were two kinds of nuclear bombs that were developed: the fission and the fusion bombs. The fission bomb, known as the atomic bomb, was instrumental in bringing World War II to a rapid close. Two such missiles were dropped in August, 1945—one on Hiroshima, Japan, which destroyed 67 per cent of the city, and the other on Nagasaki, Japan, destroying 40 per cent of the city.

Because of its military importance, little information has been published on the construction of the atomic bomb. Unofficial publications describe the bomb as containing a hollow sphere of high explosives. When detonated, the shaped charges implode (blast inward) and bring together quantities of uranium or plutonium in a specific manner to create a “critical mass.”
