how to dismantle an atomic bomb?

Open it up and smash it with a hammer. If you destroy anything vital, it will stop working.\n\nThe difficult part with atomic bombs is to make them explode. Everything MUST work perfectly with perfect timing. If anything is off, it's a dud. The chances of them exploding accidentally is almost zero.\n\nAccidental launch is a different matter.

An atomic bomb is composed of some heavy-duty explosives, U-235 or P-239, and a neutron source.\n\nThe neutron source is in the center, surrounded by the Uranium or Plutonium, and then the explosives. Upon detonation, the explosives explode simultaneously, crushing the nuclear material in on the neutron source. This causes the material to achieve critical mass and a massive chain reaction takes place. Very massive.

You need to take it a part, get a gun cleaning kit,wipe out all the gunpowder and put it back together

Pip, making a nuclear bomb is very very very hard!  Especially out of 10000 smoke alarms!  I'd be interested to know which 'news channel' this was.

Size: length - 3 meters, diameter - 0.7 meters. \nWeight: 4 tons. \nNuclear material: Uranium 235. \nEnergy released: equivalent to 12.5 kilotons of TNT. \nCode name: "Little Boy". ps it went off in hiroshima

You can ask atomic research agency. they are using this type of software.

Bury the bombs...put information and instructions in a taped memory bank...Ach! my hand!!! doomsday device...

There are two basic types of atomic bomb. The gun type was used over Hiroshima and used U-235. The compression type is more common now and was used over Nagasaki and used Pu-239.

none, the 2 different bombs you are trying to get at are usually called atomic and hydrogen bombs\n\natomic (that was dropped over Japan 1946) is uncontrolled splitting (fission) of uranium whereas in the nuclear power reactors this is done slowly -- the reaction is controlled.\n\nhydrogen bomb was never tested over human population (only atoll Bikini) is a synthesis (fusion) of hydrogen into helium. This reaction produces the energy from the Sun and it is still in a research mode here on earth to get this reaction under control.\nIt would be much more effective source of energy than the nuclear one.

The highly radioactive form of uranium is a very very slightly more dense isotope than the primary isotope, thus you can purify it by any means which separates atoms based on mass.  This can be done by injecting a gaseous form of uranium into a machine which collects different fractions based on mass/charge, or crudely using an ultra-high speed centrifuge.  This info is available in a million places on the internet and taught in college physics.  The machines required to do this are extremely expensive and difficult to design, and a great deal of uranium is required-those are the limiting steps.

cut it off with a hacksaw.  \n\nyou might have to take it to a welder to reattach it.

Well, aside from the incredible wealth of supporting evidence as to the existence of an atom (that is what you are really asking, right?) there are a couple of great historic events that prove we can split an atom. Furthermore, while you cannot see a single atom, everything that you do see is an aggregation of atoms. But, back to how we know, in August of 1945, the second world war was ended by dropping two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. You see, at it's simplest, an atom bomb's power is derived from the chain reaction that occurs from the splitting of the atom. Lord knows, no one has ever seen what happens when an atom is split. So, how do we know that we can split an atom? I mean, it's not like the threat of splitting an atom over a major population center didn't hold the world in a cold war for the better part of a century. Wow dude. I mean seriously, wow.

The Hiroshima Bomb \nSize: length - 3 meters, diameter - 0.7 meters. \nWeight: 4 tons. \nNuclear material: Uranium 235. \nEnergy released: equivalent to 12.5 kilotons of TNT. \nCode name: "Little Boy". \nhttp://mothra.rerf.or.jp/ENG/A-bomb/History/Damages.html\n\nLos Alamos produced two operational bombs: “Little Boy,” the uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and the “Fat Man” plutonium bomb used at Nagasaki.\nLittle Boy  (Hiroshima) Fat Man  (Nagasaki)   \nWeight 9,700 lbs. 10,800 lbs.   \nLength 10 ft.                10 ft. 8 in.   \nDiameter 28 in.                  60 in.   \nFuel enriched uranium enriched plutonium   \nDetonation gun type implosion  \nExplosive Force15,000 tons TNT21,000 tons TNT \nAlthough the explosive power of Fat Man was greater than that of Little Boy, the damage was less extensive because of the hilly terrain around Nagasaki.\nSources: The Manhattan Project Heritage \nPreservation Association; USAF Museum.\n\nFrom URL http://www.afa.org/new_root/enolagay/AB.asp

Helium bomb? Do you mean hydrogen bomb?\n\nAnyway, an atomic bomb uses uranium or plutonium, heavy elements, and bombards them with a force, which splits the heavy nuclei into smaller nuclei, with a huge rush of energy. This is called nuclear fission.\n\nHydrogen bombs are kind of the opposite. They perform nuclear fusion, which is much harder to do. Hydrogen bombs use atomic bombs to provide the force. In the center is a pellet of deuterium, a hydrogen isotope with a neutron. The deuterium fuses together to form helium, creating a much, much, much bigger explosion than fission.\n\nOne modern hydrogen bomb can instantly vaporize all the water in the San Francisco Bay.

i would grab the closest lasar gun and start shooting...i mean your the hero here... you can't die...espesailly if your the last on left...you have to do it to save the human race...without you we are all doomed...a big dramatic ending would be if you set the self destruct...then excape in the nick of time...speaking of which why would anyone make a self destruct button anways...i mean if there is a self destruct wouldn't that mean that you are carriering enough explosives just to blow you own ship up...that most likely can not be used on your enemy...well anyways...you can do it...we are all counting on you\n\nand to answer the above question...spacepeoplepc...duh

Read Angels and Demons. Although the antimatter making technique is totally impractical, it just might be possible to store the stuff in a hand-grenade sized container. Magnetic suspension has already been done, although it would make a large hand grenade with current technology.\nhttp://www.levitron.com/\n\nA truly perfect vacuum really is impossible, but a near-perfect vacuum could be done. Just as long as you eliminate all the gas molecules floating around, you should be safe enough. http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae290.cfm
