Was using nuclear weapons during World War 2 justified?

Yes, considering the Japanese Military Leaders would have fought until Japan no longer existed because to surrender was dishonorable and taboo and forbidden. Once the atomic bombs were dropped Emperor Hirohito realized he had to end the war to protect the throne and empire. The military leaders tried to stop him from surrendering. Had Hirohito not surrendered millions of Japanese, Russians, Americans and other allied forces would have died and the war would have gone on for at lease one more year. All the soldiers, Marines and Red Army soldiers are extremely grateful to the men who dropped the atomic bombs because they considered the bombs saved their lives (since they did not have to invade Japan). Some of the scientists who created the atomic bombs (and are still alive) are still receiving thanks for


How long did it take to build a atomic bomb?

It took the US 2 to 3 years to build the industrial infrastructure needed to begin building Atomic fission bombs. When the US first started building bombs in those factories in 1945 they could build 3 bombs a month with the expectation by the end of the year of building 7 a month. You compute the time per bomb. But remember this is just beginning production, with each bomb hand assembled. These bombs were delivered by the factory to the field as a kit of parts in multiple crates. Assembly of a MK-III Fatman type bomb from this kit took 3 days in the field. At the peak of production both the US & USSR had the capacity to build 100s of Hydrogen fusion bombs per day! You compute the time per bomb. This was full assembly line production. These bombs were delivered by the factory to the field fully assembled and ready for use.

How many atomic bombs did US have in 1946?

By the end of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946, the US had built a total of 9 atomic bombs and detonated 5 of them, leaving only 4 in the stockpile. Records obtained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists suggest that by the end of 1946 the US had built 5 more atomic bombs, ending the year with 9 in the stockpile.While the Hanford reactors had a design capacity of 3 atomic bomb cores every month, its very obvious that they were being operated far below capacity through 1945 and 1946 to minimize neutron irradiation damage to the graphite moderator and/or shutdown for repairs frequently.
