Damage to structures continues as fires started by the heat of the explosion grow and spread. People continue to fall ill and die due to radioactive fallout.

Was the atomic bomb that hit Hiroshima aimed at a military base?
During World War II, the Second General Army and Chūgoku Regional Army were headquartered in Hiroshima. So there were military facilities there.However due to the large expected amount of damage of the explosion at the altitude of 1,968 feet above the city, there was no need to aim at any specific military facility. Instead the aim point (AP) was selected to be an easy to identify landmark near the center of the city: the "T" shaped Aioi Bridge.
Why was the atomic bomb tested at white sands?
large test area and to see if bomb worked
What was the soviet atomic threat?
A large-scale nuclear exchange followed by a conventional war which itself would involve heavy use of tactical nuclear weapons.
Where do atomic bombs get their power?
atomic bombs get there power from the energy released by splitting an atom. A nucleus is fired into an unstable isotopse such as Uranium 235 and the Uranium is split into two daughter nuclei. A cloud of electrons, along with some energy, is released. Each of the electrons in turn splits another atom, creating a large chain reaction, and this releases enough energy to power an atomic bomb.
Why did the atomic bomb in nagasaki have such a horrific outcome?
The bomb was a plutonium implosion type. The blast was large and the radiation fallout is deadly. Most of the people that died were from radiation poisoning.
Why does the damage continue after the initial explosion of a large atomic bomb?
Damage to structures continues as fires started by the heat of the explosion grow and spread. People continue to fall ill and die due to radioactive fallout.
How did they make the first Atomic Bomb Manhatton Project?
by dividing an atom leading to a microscopic domino effect creating into a large explosion.
What is an explosion and is it deadly?
An explosion is a a violent blast that ultimately destroys an object or objects around it. An explosion can be deadly within close proximity of the blast and if the explosion is large.
Name three events that can couse a tsunami?
An earthquake beneath the sea A large impact, for example a large meteor striking the sea A large explosion, for example the Krakatoa volcanic explosion
Elements like francium located at the bottom of a group have a lower attraction for their valence electrons because they have a?
large atomic radius.large atomic radius.
How does nuclear power hurt when it explodes?
A nuclear power station can not create a nuclear explosion. What CAN happen is that hydrogen could build up inside of the containment dome and if the build up becomes too intense, it can cause a hydrogen explosion, like the one in Japan recently. This explosion is dangerous only if you are close to it and are hit by the concussion or by the debris that is flying from the explosion. If this explosion is too large, it can damage the containment dome surrounding the reactor and this, in turn, releases some radioactive gases.
What damaged could be caused if a 30 inch pipe with a 9 bar pressure burst?
That is about 130 PSI. A pipe THAT large at that pressure is storing a large amount of energy. A break would be likely to simulate a modest size explosion, with damage to whatever is close by.
Which have large atomic radius?
francium
How is the law of conservation of energy related to the atomic bomb?
explosion of an atom bomb releases large amount of energy as heat liberation resulting rise in temperature and deformation in matter and pressure and many more forms of energy obtained from matter.
What do you call a huge explosion in which a large star may die?
This is a supernova.
Which is bigger the atomic radius of potassium or atomic radius of iodine?
Atomic radius of Iodine is very large compared to potassium.
What would happen if you ignite a nuclear bomb in a volcano?
You get a rather large explosion.
