The tests condutcted by the navy states the level is normal.
The bomb was a plutonium implosion type. The blast was large and the radiation fallout is deadly. Most of the people that died were from radiation poisoning.
it is falling radioactive marterials launched into the atmostphere from an atomic blast
The blast over Hiroshima and Nagasaki doesn't affect the people today.
See: Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The schools in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were big enough to house all the children at that time. Those four schools, 2 in each city were demolished by the blast.
6 and 9 august 1945
The radiation levels of atomic bombs vary according to the amount of radioactive elements put into the bombs or missiles and if they are actually used. Once the radioactive matter is inside the bomb housing the radiation levels are negligible but once one of the nuclear bombs is used then the variables come into play. (see related link below to see how complex it is) Consider this: the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 are 1/10th the killing power of today's nuclear missiles. If one modern nuclear missile were to be used today the bomb would be able to kill about a third of the world with the initial bomb blast and radiation fallout. The radiation level after Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not really measured until after the US occupied Japan. The Japanese leaders did not really understand the radiation fallout and poisonous danger and they did not use radiation detectors right after the blast. It is rumored the radiation levels were 100 times today's acceptable levels of radiation.
The first test was July 16, 1945 in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The Atomic bomb was also used to end Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 & to obliterate Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
Yes, if far enough away and with a fallout shelter to protect from the radiation from fallout that might fall distant from the explosion. If closer then a blast shelter with fallout protection would be required. But all these preparations are expensive so they would not be available to everybody, and even if available quite a few people would not have the time to get to the necessary shelters.
you can survive an atomic blast if you get inside of a certain metal. someone please edit and tell what metal it is
145,984 people including POWs citizens and more
Depending on the blast wave, an A bomb could do damage for up to five miles. The Atomic bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945 left no standing buildings for two miles in all directions.
