Nuclear Reaction Calculations for Nuclear Weapon Applications
Abstract
Malik M. A. Fakron
The primary goal of this paper is to offer a comprehensive guide that outlines the steps necessary to design a variety of nuclear weapons, including nuclear fission atomic bombs and nuclear fusion bombs, beginning with first-principles calculations. Comprehensive logarithmic guides for nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reactions derived from mass balance and energy balance calculations. This covers nuclear weapons calculation techniques for neutron flux, nuclear reaction rate, and microscopic and macroscopic cross sections of nuclear reactions. This logarithmic approach, which is determined by client requests, specifies the explosion power and nuclear weapon yield requirements. Any successful bomb design requires a rapid reaction time. This chapter offers a comprehensive examination of the design of various nuclear weapons. From nuclear explosive fusion devices, such as hydrogen bombs and cold fusion bombs, to the design of intensification atomic bombs, the process has evolved from atomic fission bombs. The principal objective of this chapter is to offer a comprehensive comprehension of the steps involved in the design of atomic bombs and to make it more accessible to a broader range of students and professionals who aspire to be involved in international security, arms control, or nuclear non-proliferation issues.
