Where were the first nuclear bombs dropped?
A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.
The first atomic bomb leveled approximately square miles.?
the first atomic bomb leveled nothing. That was exploded at the Trinity test site. The first bomb used in war was at Hiroshima Japan, and pretty much destroyed everything in a 3 mile radius. That is just over 7 square miles.
How much did a B-24 cost?
$ 296,000 USD in 1943. A Norden bomb sight or Sperry was $15,000 USD
Are there any Pros to the atomic bonb If so what are they?
The pros and cons of the atomic bomb are greatly debated. Some say that there were less U.S. casualties because of the bomb, which ended the war quickly. It would also make us look powerful and mighty. Without the bomb, we would look defenseless. So much money was spent to research and build the bombs that we figured that we might as well use them, or it would look like we were just wasting money. On the other hand, innocent civilians' lives would be lost, the power and potential of the full-scale bomb is truly unknown. The bomb would give the U.S. a savage and immoral image, and would leave great devastation in the affected country, giving us a bad reputation, possibly causing the opposite of the wanted effect. It could cause a larger war involving more countries.
Is the nuclear bomb bigger than the atomic bomb?
The terms atomic bomb and nuclear bomb are interchangeable as both obtain their energy from the atomic nucleus. So neither is bigger.There are two processes to get the energy for a bomb out of the atomic nucleus:fission, the breaking up of large nuclei into smaller onesfusion, the joining of small nuclei together into larger ones.Pure fission bombs have a practical yield limit between 500 KTons and 1 MTon because of criticality limits: too much fuel in the bomb will cause it to "predetonate" and melt before it can be delivered to a target. Fusion bombs do not have this limit: you can put as much fuel as you want to get as high a yield as you might like.However no modern nuclear weapon is pure fission or pure fusion, the processes are mixed in a variety of ways to get the exact effects desired, in the package size desired, at the production cost desired. Therefore some fission bombs are higher yield than some fusion bombs and vice versa.
How much money does it cost to build an atomic bomb today?

How much money was saved by dropping the atomic bomb on japan?

How much does an atomic bomb test cost?
That depends mostly on the instrumentation you want to collect data on the test blast. The bomb itself is cheap.
How much would it cost today to build an atomic bomb today like the one US dropped on Japan?
The first atomic bombs cost billions because they had to learn how to gather uranium and plutonium into a form that was good enough for a bomb and they had to design the bomb. Now a nuclear missile cost would be probably about a million or more. The cost of the newer missile is in the housing and maintenance of the missile.
Did the radiation improve in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bomb?
Yes, the radiation was much more abundant after the atomic bomb.
How much money did the atomic bomb make?
