How many atomic bombs were tested after World War 2?
In all nations, several thousand- the exact number is not pulic information. 982 were tested at the Nevada Test Site alone.
Where was the atom bomb tested?
Atomic bombs have been tested a number of times in a number of places. The first test was done above ground at 5:29:45 (Mountain War Time) on July 16, 1945 in the Jemez mountains in northern New Mexico at what is known as the Trinity site. Small uninhabited islands and atolls, specifically Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands and the Nevada desert are just a few of the places where atomic bombs have been tested.
Identify three major problems scientists faced in making the atomic bomb?
1. Getting enough radioactive material (uranium) to create the bomb2. Producing enough enriched uranium (Separating the useful Uranium 235 isotope from the more common but useless for bombs Uranium 238 isotope)3. Actually testing the bomb. Some of the scientists thought that the fission would continue indefinitely and consume the whole world. But they did it anyway because why not?
What war was the first nuclear war?
Yes because the American bomber aircraft dropped two atomic bombs in Japan but now the atomic bombs are called nuclear bombs, the first nuclear weapon was ever invented.

How many nuclear bombs were tested on Easter Island?

About the nuclear weapons tested on hiroshima and nagasaki give your opinion on the uses and misuses of uranium with reference to this disaster?

How was uranium used in warfare and medicine?
1. Uranium is used as an explosive in fission bombs. 2. Uranium is not used in medicine.
Why is uranium 238 used to make atomic bombs?
Uranium-235 (not uranium-238) is used in atomic bombs; under nuclear fission with neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U).
When did the Soviet Union have nuclear bombs?
The Soviet Union tested their first atomic bomb in 1949.
What are nuclear bombs made from?
