| | |  Nuclear fission: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear weapon - Types of nuclear weaponsThere are two basic types of nuclear weapons. The first are weapons which produce their explosive energy through nuclear fission reactions. These are known as colloquially as atomic bombs or A-bombs. In fission weapons, a mass of fissile material (enriched uranium or plutonium) is rapidly assembled into a critical mass, in which a chain reaction begins and grows exponentially, releasing tremendous amounts of energy. This is accomplished by rapidly creating supercriticality, either by shooting one piece of subcritical material i ...

| | | | Nuclear fission: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear weapon - Types of nuclear weapons The simplest nuclear weapons derive their energy from nuclear fission. A mass of fissile material is rapidly assembled into a critical mass, in which a chain reaction begins and grows exponentially, releasing tremendous amounts of energy. This is accomplished by rapidly creating supercriticality, either by shooting one piece of subcritical material into another, or compressing a subcritical mass. A major challenge in all nuclear weapon designs is ensuring that a significant fraction of the fuel is consumed before the weapon destroys itself. ...

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty - First pillar: non-proliferation.
Five states are permitted by the NPT to own nuclear weapons: the United States (signed 1968), United Kingdom (1968), France (1992), Soviet Union (1968; obligations and rights assumed by Russia), and the People's Republic of China (1992). These were the only states possessing such weapons at that time, and are also the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. These 5 Nuclear Weapons States (NWS) agree not to transfer nuclear weapons technology to other states, and the ...
