∙ 11y agoOnly two nuclear weapons have been used for the purpose of warfare, both by the United States near the end of World War II. On August 6, 1945, a uranium gun-type device (code name "Little Boy") was detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on August 9, a plutonium implosion-type device (code name "Fat Man") was detonated over Nagasaki, Japan. These two bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately 225,000 Japanese people (mostly civilians) from acute injuries sustained in the detonations. Most were killed due to the Impact Force and the Shock waves given off but a bunch were killed due to radiation. Some survivors today got cancer due to too much exposure to the toxic radiation.

What Does not use nuclear energy?
All material uses nuclear energy.
What businesses use nuclear energy?
Nuclear fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It occurs naturally and can be induced in order to release energy. Nuclear fission provides the energy released by nuclear weapons as well as the energy used to produce energy at nuclear power plants.
What are common uses of nuclear energy?
Most uses include energy and weapons although some nuclear energy is used for materials.
What material does not use nuclear energy?
All material uses nuclear energy.
What are the future uses of nuclear energy?
In the future the uses remain the same: production of electrical and thermal energy and nuclear weapons.
Does the nuclear power include oil?
No. Nuclear power uses nuclear energy instead of oil energy.
Is The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is responsible for stopping nuclear research in other countries?
No! The US NRC is solely responsible for regulating, licensing, and safety of US commercially operated nuclear power plants.The original Atomic Energy Commission was split into the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission because of conflicts of interest between military and civilian users. DOE is responsible for military uses, NRC is responsible for civilian uses.
