5Uranium appauvri — Batteries de centrifugeuses utilisées pour l’enrichissement de l’uranium. L’uranium appauvri est de l’uranium dont la composition isotopique comporte une faible abondance des isotopes légers, comprise entre 0,2 et 0,4 % de 235U (l uranium… …
6Enriched uranium — Proportions of uranium 238 (blue) and uranium 235 (red) found naturally versus enriched grades Enriched uranium is a kind of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium 235 has been increased through the process of isotope separation.… …
7Dirty bomb — A dirty bomb is a speculative radiological weapon that combines radioactive material with conventional explosives. The purpose of the weapon is to contaminate the area around the explosion with radioactive material, hence the attribute dirty .… …
8Neutron bomb — A neutron bomb or enhanced radiation weapon (ERW) or weapon of reinforced radiation is a type of thermonuclear weapon designed specifically to release a large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation rather than explosive energy.… …
9Mark 15 nuclear bomb — Mark 15 bomb The Mark 15 nuclear bomb, or Mk 15, was a 1950s American thermonuclear bomb, the first relatively lightweight (7,600 lb / 3450 kg) thermonuclear bomb created by the United States. The Mark 15 was first produced in 1955, in a… …
10Mark 36 nuclear bomb — The Mark 36 nuclear bomb The Mark 36 was a heavy high yield United States nuclear bomb designed in the 1950s. It was a thermonuclear bomb, using a multi stage fusion secondary system to generate yields up to about 10 megatons. [1] …
