No, South Africa long ago gave up its nuclear weapons program.
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
Drill baby drill. Green energy is fine in concert with oil but is not an alternative source of energy. Build nuclear plants. The liberals has oposed nuclear plants for too long...
Three countries were in a race to build the atomic bomb. The US simply managed to get it done before the others. The government not only wanted to build the bombs they also wanted the atomic technology to build atomic energy facilities and nuclear ships. That is why the investment was so crucial. We have long ago reaped back the initial investment. It cost a lot because it was all new and they had to learn how to harvest the plutonium and uranium so it was usable. There is a show about it on Military History channel.
The US were working on the bomb since 1941 up to 1945 when the first bomb tested.
A long time
Depending on the size and type of the bomb and also on the enrichment installation available.
2 months 8 days
An atomic bomb has more destructive potential, but a large, long-lived tornado would probably release more energy than a small nuclear weapon.
Long Term effects due to radiation Massive Damage to buildings Radioactive area where the bomb exploded
They're very destructive and last for a long time, In other words, once you've blown up a nuclear bomb somewhere, it will still be dangerous after the initial explosion has taken place. When a nuclear bomb is used there would be nuclear radiation that would still be present where the bomb hit for quite a while
Long before the first one was made. That was the purpose of making them: to have a very dangerous bomb (all bombs are dangerous).
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.
You left it in too long and it started a nuclear reaction, thus you can get a nuclear bomb by getting a bunch of cream of wheat.
The full details are too long to put here, I suggest reading Richard Rhodes books: The Making of the Atomic Bomb; and Dark Sun.
If there is a nuclear bomb that explodes you will not be able to protect yourself. It will destroy and contaminate all of the surroundings for a long distance depending on the size of the bomb. Even several years of Iwo Jima and Hiroshima that are still people affected by the bombs.
It took about 5 years to make a proper nuclear weapon.
