The US took over three years to go from concept of designing an atomic bomb to the actual production of three atomic bombs in World War 2. They started discussion in 1941 with scientists who had warned them Germany was building an atomic bomb. They began setting up a place for production in 1942. In August of 1945 the bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan.
The atomic bombs were built by the thousands during the cold war. After the cold war, thousands were dismantled but there are still atomic missiles around world wide.
See the link below.
The US were working on the bomb since 1941 up to 1945 when the first bomb tested.
Well I am pretty sure they call an atomic bomb nukes because atomic bombs and be called nuclear bombs. So instead of calling these super long name they made the bomb a short nick name a nuke
It takes less than a minute.
The first atomic bomb was launched in 1945, by the US. It incinerated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan during WWII The above is half true. That was the first time an atomic bomb was used in war, but the first atomic bomb was detonated at the the Trinity Site in White Sands Missile Range, on July 16, 1945.
No, South Africa long ago gave up its nuclear weapons program.
decades
It didn't. Japan existed long before the atomic bomb
from Dec 1941 to Aug 1945
All the early atomic bombs were 10 feet long, the length of the longest bomb that fit in the B-29 bombbay.
The long term result of the use of the Atomic bomb by the US in WW2, has been building new and larger nuclear weapons/bombs. Despite the advances in nuclear activity, it can clearly be seen that the "fear" of using the mass destruction of nuclear weapons has been that no more nuclear or atomic bombs have ever been used again.
The story is too long to tell here. Read Richard Rhode's book: The Making of the Atomic Bomb.
The story is long and complicated, too long to do justice to it here. I suggest reading Richard Rhodes' book The Making of the Atomic Bomb.

I don't think anyone has seen an atomic bomb and lived,but so say about 3 to 4 days.
