Is India Building Thermonuclear Weapons?

[axisofevil]

There is a difference, he din't said that it wasn't a success, he said we din't get the yield we targeted for. Don't understand how will it make a difference when few people LESS would die than we intended for?

Depends on the differences in yield size. Peopele will die nonetheless but how much damage are you looking to cause? Enough so they cannot retailiate or enough where they fight back?

Bhai log what is the difference between thermonuclear bomb and normal nuclear bomb ?

Normal Nuclear Bomb :

Thermonuclear Bomb :

Followed by this

@Skull and Bones, Does this explains in simple terms?

What is a cold fusion?

It is Ignition of Fission device without using Nuclear bomb as primary device. High energy leser etc is used to triger fusion. You can build any yield of fusion bomb using this technique.

Basically imagination. No such method or even a theory exist which can realize cold fusion.

Very large yield nuclear weapons are out of fashion now. As precision increased yield decreased. Thermonuclear device is mainly a device where most of the energy comes from Hydrogen Fusion. If India is going for Hydrogen bomb..where is their facility for producing Tritium or Lithium?

There are facilities to isolate tritium or lithium isotopes. It is a myth however that most energy in a thermonuclear bomb comes from fusion.

@thesolar65 Lol...Ka-BooM looks definitely more interesting!

Plz through more light on shakti4

not much is known about Shakti III,IV and V apart from all of them were tested for research purpose and to demonstrate expertise in controlling and damping the sub kiloton yield.

Shakti III

An experimental boosted fission device that used reactor grade Plutonium for its primary with a yield of 0.3 kt. This test device was used to test only the primary stage. It did not contain any tritium required to boost the fission. This test was designed to study the possibility of using reactor grade plutonium in warheads and also to prove India’s expertise in controlling and damping a nuclear explosion in order to achieve a low (sub-kiloton) yield.

Shakti IV

A 0.5 kt experimental device. The test’s only purpose was to collect data about the explosion process and to study the performance of various bomb components.

Shakti V

A 0.2 kt experimental device that used U-233, an isotope of uranium that is not found in nature but is produced in India’s fast breeder reactors that consume Thorium. This device too was used to collect data.

Are you mad? U posting the same thing in every thread.

India conducted nuclear test in 1974.
The tests conducted in 1998 were thermonuclear, but failed.
Well, its been 16 years since then.
I think you should test it to confirm the operational capability, before you fire it on some other country and it fails again.

Please do proceed

India already has the capability to produce HEU. This news is more like no news. Plant is probably for enrichment of nuclear fuel for their newly built power plants.

They should always think that. Good for India so that India can test again and again

That's kool to hear , but what i have learned years ago that these pokharan II tests were one of its kind and has never done before by any other country .. And which also shows India's ground breaking research in nuclear technologies, which every other cCountry including us, Russia, n EU... N I think this was the main reasons why everybody denied the success of pokharan II... So that India show them all the. Telemetry data n graphs n the designs n the leftovers... So that they may able to study them..

Report this guy.

 

[WolfSlayer]

the thing is that will you use it ?


1998 test failed who told you ? ISI sponsored news !

ISI sponsored news???
What do u think ISI is a news channel??
The blast yield of thermonuclear test was about 4-5 times less than that of expected because thermonuclear weapon requires nuclear weapon to start.
the blast yield produced was due to nuclear part, not due to thermonuclear part.

Now please tell me your source, if it is not RAW

No it wasn't

India has thermonuclear bombs: Kakodkar - IBNLive

you are in locate your location and then discuss !

Can be for improved fission bomb designs also

your Avatar sucks bro our mission is ( अखण्ड भारत )

Anyone can publish anything on any newspaper or media portal theses days it seems.

Someone tell this author hired by The Diplomat that the fuel is for our ambitious program of building fleet of nuclear submarines. I bet my good poster might have mentioned the same here already.
