A nuclear bomb is a bomb where the destructive force of the explosion comes from an uncontrolled nuclear detonation, which releases massive amounts of thermal, and as a byproduct, radioactive energy.  Conventional bombs use a chemical reaction as the source of their explosive force.

Nuclear bombs usually have dramatically more destructive power than conventional bombs, where the power of a nuclear bomb is measured in kilotons.  One kiloton has the equivalent explosive force of 1,000 tons of [[TNT]].
