A nuclear weapon consists of a missile, rocket, bomb or artillery shell armed with a nuclear warhead.
When the warhead is detinated, nuclear atoms are split causing nuclear fusion.
Here is the chemical formula according to nuclearweaponarchive.org:
D + T -> He-4 (3.5 MeV) + n (14.1 MeV)
The first nuclear bombs where used on August 6, 1945. The united states droped two cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Here is some information on the first 2 used nuclear bombs
A nuclear weapon of the "Fat Man" type, the plutonium implosion type detonated over Nagasaki. 60 inches in diameter and 128 inches long, the weapon weighed about 10,000 pounds and had a yield approximating 21,000 tons of high explosives (Copy from U.S. National Archives, RG 77-AEC)
A nuclear weapon of the "Little Boy" type, the uranium gun-type detonated over Hiroshima. It is 28 inches in diameter and 120 inches long. "Little Boy" weighed about 9,000 pounds and had a yield approximating 15,000 tons of high explosives. (Copy from U.S. National Archives, RG 77-AEC
There are some highly uneducated information on the production and use of nuclear weapons throughout the web, such as people being able to build a operational nuclear weapon in there garage, this is not true due to the exact to-the-point conditions and enviroment needed to produce a nuclear weapon. The neds are so precise that labs are made just for the purpose of making another lab cabable to produce a nuclear weapon. Another misconception is about The war in Iran and the reasons President Bush decided to invade. There was more then just Nuclear Weapons, we invaded because Hussan said he had W.M.D.'s which is not jsut limited to Nuclear Weapons. Hussan also supported and funded al kida,the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for 9/11.

Wow,Nuclear Weapons can wipe out whole cities!
People need to know more about nuclear weapons before they poing fingers at George Bush

Get the nublar mug.If a typical "Nerd" resembles the antisocial, bookworm-ish, technology-savvy type of guy who is usually bullied at school, then "Nuclear Boy" would be his more assertive counterpart, the nerdy whizz-kid who is more-or-less respected among his peers.
Think Dexter from " Dexter's Laboratory", Gas-O from "Bust-a-groove" and Dib from " Invader Zim"

X: What's a "nuclear boy"?
Y: Imagine a guy dressed in a black T-shirt with a nuclear logo and army pants, with a wannabe-mad-scientist personality who hacks codes for a living, and lucid dreams instead of sleeping.
X: Sounds like a rebellious type of nerd to me.

Get the Nuclear Boy mug.Totally the only science that's worthwhile. Overall #1 best science in the world, practiced only by the most qualified nuclear scientists.
Basically, my buddy Mike is a nuclear scientist. He knows more about nuclear science than most people who have science degrees.

Get the nuclear mushroom mug.1) An extreme “over pre-action” to an event occurring in the future.
2) Extraordinarily proactive measures taken in spite of detailed processes already in place to address the situation in question.
Communications are typically verbose, meticulously detailed, and far exceed the authority of the originator. Commonly encountered via email, examples often contain combinations of “wall o’ words”, check-lists, outlines, attachments, or screen shots and are often sent to multiple recipients using separate email chains in a shotgun effect. Whether intended or not, nuclear proactions are demeaning to their recipients because they are generally unnecessary and infer ineptitude on the part of the recipient.

Proactor discovers a problem impacting a tiny percentage of the company’s customer base. Following procedures, he notifies his direct supervisor in a 500-word paragraph explaining the problem. Without delay, Proactor proceeds to forward the communication (crafted for his supervisor) to co-workers including a comprehensive check list they must follow in order to identify examples of the issue for collection.
A separate communication goes to all Field, Network, and Database engineering teams. This note has a subject “FYI” with text in the body of “Please Assist” and 14 screen shots detailing the sole example collected (the 15th screen shot was left off to prevent the message from being too large for the company’s servers to process). Attached to this Engineering communication are the two prior emails Proactor sent. This final concoction gets forwarded to a manager with the company VP blind carbon copied.
Satisfied with his Nuclear Proaction, Proactor puts up his out of office message and leaves for the day.
