One disadvantage of the atom bomb was that it cost 2 billion dollars in the 1940s which amounts to 20 billion today. Radiation was a danger too. The people who are around the bomb and handle it and drop it from the plane are at risk around the radiation. There is also the possibility it could be set off by another bomb or some unforeseen accident. The concept of having to fly the bomb to its target was a real disadvantage. Now we have missiles that fly themselves and they don't have to be atomic anymore to do the damage needed.
