Of course, they were well aware of the effects of radiation. However the immediate acute effects (e.g. blast, fire, radiation poisoning) were felt to be of greater magnitude and significance than any possible long term chronic effects.

How many atomic bombs were there left after the bombing of Japan?
There were none left. Once the two bombs were dropped on Japan, there were none left in reserve. It would have taken a long time to build and create new ones.
What response did people have to the Atomic age In other words how did people's lives change?
People were optimistic at the start of the Atomic age. They thought all power generators would be atomic from then on.
Would the cities bombed by the atomic bomb just be bombed by the fire bombs?
See: Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
How many atomic bombs would equal a super nova?
As both atomic bombs and supernovas vary in yield, this question has no single answer.
Goal of Manhattan project?
To create the atomic bomb before Nazi Germany could (if possible). Otherwize to have an atomic bomb to use on Nazi Germany in retaliation for their using them on England or the USSR (our allies). It was never expected when the Manhattan Project started that we might use them on Japan, but after Germany surrendered just before the Manhattan Project had a working atomic bomb, it had significant momentum, and it was becoming obvious how hard it really would be to defeat Japan the US decided that as fast as the atomic bombs could manufactured by the Manhattan Project's factories the atomic bombs would be used on Japan until it surrendered.
One reason against using the atomic bomb?
Radioactive waste would cause unborn babies to die/ have mutations.
When would scientists need to change a theory?
Scientists had made observations that did not fit exactly with Dalton's theory. Scientists changed the atomic theory to include this new knowledge. While the modern atomic theory is based on Dalton's theory, it is also very different.
Which scientists would be involved in making weed killer?
Biologist/chemists create it as biologist study plants and chemist create chemicals.
How did the earlier scientists their contributions directly affect the discoveries of the later scientists?
Since glass was invented, the scientists were able to create the microscope. If this was never invented, the scientists would never have been able to discover cells.
How did the earlier scientists and their contributions directly affect the discoveries of later scientists?
Since glass was invented, the scientists were able to create the microscope. If this was never invented, the scientists would never have been able to discover cells.
What kind of scientist studies atomic energy and radioactive fallout?
A Nuclear Physicist or Researcher or Technician would be scientists who know that.
What effects can mutations have on a virus?
They create genetic variations.
How did albert Einstein come up with the atomic bomb?
Einstein understood that an atomic reaction would release an incredible amount of energy in a very brief time. This principle was used to create the atomic bomb.
Why are mutations useful in selective breeding?
Because without mutations, selective breeding would be almost impossible.
Who is the US scientist that is credited for making the atomic bomb?
There were literally thousands of scientists who participated; if you had to single one out, it would probably be scientific director Robert Oppenheimer.
How long would you have to fart to create as much energy as an atomic bomb?
Approximately a trillion years. And most people don't live that long.
When you compair amino acids differences to estimate eviulotionary distance between organisms what assumptions are being made baout the rate at which mutation occur over time?
This assumes that all mutations occur at a regular and very static rate, which is not always the case. If many mutations occurred at a given moment then scientists studying these in the present would misinterpret when they truly occurred.
