| - History of item is unknown.
- They are the subject of the dreams of every Republican in existence quite a few Republicans. There have been some very controversial nuclear tests, such as Operation Emery Baneberry in 1970. The containment failed and cracks formed in the ground, releasing radioactive material. Some observers were less than a few hundred yards away when this happened.
- A Nuclear Weapon or Nuke as commonly named is a device intended to completely destroy a large area. It is the plot device of two Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes missions and a static prop in one.
- After the dropping of a nuclear weapon, the combatants stand around and mutter, "I didn't know you could do that!" Then diplomats rush in and, assisted by computer cartography, redraw everyone's borders and plow in gobs of money in reconstruction and reparations. Both of these are an easier sell than ordinary Foreign Aid. None of these fine career options would be possible without the nuclear weapon. __TOC__
- The nuclear weapon was a weapon that the Libyan terrorists hoped to build, with the assistance of Emmett Brown. Fortunately, the Libyans were foiled when Doc appropriated their plutonium for a less harmful project, i.e. to build his DeLorean time machine. Unfortunately for Doc, the Libyans were none too pleased when they discovered that their bomb consisted instead of used pinball machine parts.
- A nuclear weapon was a powerful and destructive device based on the principles of nuclear fission. The Eighth Doctor once commented that a nuclear device tapped into the power of the planet itself. (AUDIO: The Last)
- Nuclear weapons (also known as thermonuclear devices and atomic bombs) are a category of military ordinance based on releasing energy from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. Such weapons are orders of magnitude more powerful than more conventional chemical explosives. The first nuclear weapon was detonated on July 16th, 1945, with the first military use of nuclear weapons occurring on August 6th, 1945.
- A nuclear weapon is a type of ordnance using nuclear fission and/or fusion as a source of energy. The yield of a nuclear weapon is measured in the number of tons of "TNT" needed to generate an explosion of similar proportions. An operational idiosyncrasy of nuclear weapons was the result of containing fissile material. Fissile material emitted a readily detectable Čerenkov Radiation signature upon exiting slipspace that negated stealth measures, NOT to be confused with the atomic bomb.
- A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion.
- A nuclear weapon is a type of weapon whose destructive power lies upon nuclear reactions, or the energy that comes from the combining or splitting of atomic nuclei.
- Nuclear weapons delivery is the technology and systems used to place a nuclear weapon at the position of detonation, on or near its target. Examples Bombs dropped from aircraft,ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.
- A nuclear weapon was a device that caused widespread destruction and left behind large concentrations of radiation. Brendol Hux hypothesized that a nuclear weapon's detonation could be responsible for the "poisoning" of the dead lands on Parnassos, although he wasn't sure whether the detonation had been the result of deliberate usage or a factory accident for nuclear weapon production.
- A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission ("atomic") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of TNT. The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT.
- A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from the nuclear reaction of fission or from a combination of fission and fusion. As a result, even a nuclear weapon with a small yield is significantly more powerful than the largest conventional explosives available, with a single weapon capable of destroying an entire city.
- In the history of warfare, nuclear weapons have been used only twice, both during the closing days of World War II. The first event occurred on the morning of August 6, 1945, when the United States dropped a uranium gun-type device code-named "Little Boy" on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The second event occurred three days later when a plutonium implosion-type device code-named "Fat Man" was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. The use of these weapons, which resulted in the immediate deaths of around 100,000 to 200,000 individuals (mostly civilians) and even more over time, was and remains controversial — critics charged that they were unnecessary acts of mass killing, while others claimed that they ultimately reduced casualties on both sides by hastening the end of the war (see Atomic bom
- A nuclear weapon is a bomb capable of delivering a massive destructive blast followed by a flash of dangerous radiation. These weapons were created by a small number of national militaries and were highly sought after by agents of terrorism. Even a nuclear weapon with a relatively small yield is significantly more powerful than the largest conventional explosives, and a single weapon can threaten the population of any city, regardless of its size.
- A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter; a modern thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than a thousand kilograms can produce an explosion comparable to the detonation of more than a billion kilograms of conventional high explosive.
- A Nuclear weapon is a weapon that was invented during World War II. That one was a fission weapon, generating 20 kilotones of explosive force. Today, nuclear weapons are varied, including fusion as well as fission weapons. The largest was a 60 megaton weapon detonated by the USSR, which blew a hole in the atmosphere, produced a powerful shockwave that travelled the planet three times. A small one can destroy a small city, such as Springfield, while a large one could destroy a medium sized nation in a single blast. These are in secured military installations, including the GI-Joe Headquarters. One, a Hydrogen bomb, was allegedly used to destroy Cobra Island after the terrorist organization attacked the US. They are considered the "ultimate" in military power. They generate immense heat (1,0
- The Vulcan species developed the technology early in their warfarring history but rather then engage in a widespread disarmament program, they instead developed lesser forms of the "dirty weapons" such as neutron weapons designed to kill organic matter but leave the resources as well as structures behind. (TOS novel: Spock's World) A test detonation of a fission weapon in July 1947 enabled Quark, Rom, Nog and Odo return from that period to 2372. (DS9 episode: "Little Green Men") Nuclear weapons were also extensively used during World War III.
