The nuclear bomb is the result of the The Manhattan Project. Robert Oppenheimer was the person put in charge of making the atomic bombs.
Together with the bomb dropped over Nagasaki, they put the end of the war.
It was a atom bomb. The uranium one and it was called the "little boy".
Let's say somebody makes an atomic bomb using U-235. The nuclear energy was in the U-235 all the time (since it was created in a supernova). The people making the bomb simply gather (and enrich!) the uranium.
the world has been ravaged by the nuclear bomb
The nuclear bomb produced deadly radiation.
The nuclear bomb produced deadly radiation.
Simply to put it Yes. Atomic Bombs is a form as Nuclear bomb and Nuclear products/elements such as Uranium 235 (a material used in a atomic bomb) emits radioactive particles. Radioactivity Particles = radioactivity.
The full details are too long to put here, I suggest reading Richard Rhodes books: The Making of the Atomic Bomb; and Dark Sun.
Japan blamed the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the US of course! The US bombed Japan because they refused to surrender.
Put it like this. A couple hundred thousand had died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If the United States and her allies in the Pacific had invaded the Japanese home islands, it would've cost both sides around 1 Million Deaths each. Your call. :)
The safest place during a nuclear bomb explosion is underground in a well-built structure, such as a basement or bomb shelter. The goal is to put as much material as possible between yourself and the blast to reduce exposure to radiation. It is important to follow official emergency guidelines and seek shelter as quickly as possible in the event of a nuclear attack.
