What else can I help you with?
Why did America create nuclear weapons in the first place?
Because they were afraid that the Germans were making them.
What is the code name for the first nuclear weapons test?
The code name for the first nuclear weapons test was "Trinity." It took place on July 16, 1945, in the New Mexico desert as part of the Manhattan Project.
Would the UK lose its permanent place on the security council if it gave up nuclear weapons?
No, it was given that place right after WW2 before they had their own nuclear weapons.
Does China have nukes?
Yes, China's first nuclear test took place in 1964, and they have roughly 200 warheads at this time; depending on who you ask. China also has a "no first use rule" meaning that they will only use nuclear weapons in retaliation.
Why are nuclear weapons a good thing?
Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
Nuclear weapons have made the world a more dangerous place positive and negative aspects?
no
What atoll was used by the US for nuclear weapons testing?
The atoll used by the US for nuclear weapons testing is called Bikini Atoll, located in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The infamous Castle Bravo test, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated by the US, took place there in 1954.
Is nuclear reactors and nuclear energy the same thing?
Nuclear energy is released when U-235 undergoes fission, and that takes place in nuclear reactors (or nuclear weapons). So a reactor is a thing constructed to produce nuclear energy.
What is the nuclear age?
It's a general term used to apply to the time following the advent of nuclear technology. It could have begun when the first controlled nuclear chain reaction took place, or when the first nuclear bomb was detonated. That was in the 1940's.
WHAT major event took place in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
In ww2 those cities were destroyed by nuclear weapons.
Why were Hahn and Meitner bombarding nuclei with neutrons in the first place?
Hahn and Meitner were bombarding nuclei with neutrons to induce nuclear reactions, hoping to create new elements and understand nuclear structures. This technique allowed them to study the process of nuclear fission, which eventually led to the discovery of nuclear energy and the development of nuclear weapons.
Can nuclear power plants make nuclear weapons?
It can produce low grade plutonium that need be extracted from the used nuclear fuel through used fuel reprocessing. However, power reactors are subject to the international nuclear safeguards to prevent its misuse.
