After two years of all-out, round the clock effort the US had only enough fissile material for three nuclear devices. There was a test explosion at Alamogordo, New Mexico, July 16, 1945. This lit up the night sky brilliantly and was heard hundreds of miles away. The military explained it away by telling the press that an ammunition dump had exploded. The test was not a true bomb, as it was not like the design of the bombs dropped the next month, and was not dropped from a plane. The device was placed on a steel tower and exploded by remote control. Up to the moment it went off, no one could be absolutely certain it would work, or, that if it did work, that it would not set off an uncontrollable chain reaction that would destroy the entire planet.

Was there nuclear fall out from nagasaki?
Yes, on August 9, 1945, three days after Hiroshima was bombed. It was a different type of bomb from Hiroshima though.

It was nicknamed Fat Man and was the same type as the first A-bomb tested at Alamogordo, NM.
What type of atomic bombs did America drop on Japan?
Easy. Basically there were two types of nuclear bombs (Atomic bombs). One is fusion and the other is fission. Fusion bombs are Hydrogen bombs that were only invented and tested on 1950s. When America drop the bombs on Japan , it was fission type. Both Uranium and Plutonium in Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively.

Why was the first atomic bomb used?
The US tested one atomic bomb in the United States (in the desert), before using two against the Japanese in August 1945. The attacks on Hiroshima & Nagasaki were carried out, allegedly, to convince the Japanese Army leaders (who ran Japan) to accept the terms of surrender demanded by the Allies. However it had been discussed that dropping such a weapon over Japan's Inland Sea as a demonstration would have had the same effect and thus the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a cynical act to test the weapons in war conditions.
Where was the atomic bombs first tested in Japan?
It was not tested. It was USED. We first did a test in the desert far south in the U.S., then used it on Japan to force its surrender to end World War 2.It was used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombs reduced the cities to flat plains with some concrete and ashes.
Can crops be grown on land that has been struck by a nuclear bomb?
Absolutely. However they should be tested for radiological contamination before being eaten. In both Hiroshima and Nagasaki bamboo naturally sprouted from their rhizome in less than a week after the attacks.
Where did they use the nuclear weapons?
While nuclear weapons have been tested quite frequently in the past by numerous countries, they have only been used twice in wartime. Both times were by the United States of America against Japan during World War II. The bomber "Enola Gay" deployed the "Little Boy", an untested gun-type uranium powered nuclear weapon against Hiroshima, Japan on Monday, August 6, 1945 The bomber "Bocks Car" deployed the "Fat Man", a previously-tested implosion-type plutonium powered nuclear weapon against Nagasaki, Japan on Thursday, August 9, 1945. Kokura was the primary target, but the weather did not favour dropping the bomb there, so the secondary target, Nagasaki was chosen. The DoE estimates that 70,000 people died in the Hiroshima bombing, and 40,000 died in the Nagasaki bombing.
What did Hiroshima and Nagasaki have in common in World War 2?
Both were targets of atomic bomb attacks by the US: Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. These are the only two instances of the use of atomic bombs in warfare, and used two of the first three atomic bombs ever built (one was tested at Alamagordo NM on July 16, 1945).
