Was dropping atomic bombs chosen by the US?
no Kennedy decided
Which two elements were used to produce the atomic bombs?
The key elements to making fission bombs are: Uranium and Plutonium. The specific isotopes of interest are: Uranium-233, Uranium-235, and Plutonium-239. But many other elements are needed to make a functional bomb. As a very rough guess, about a quarter of the elements on the periodic table are needed somewhere in the bomb, roughly 23 different elements in total.
What is the Difference in radiation - atomic vs hydrogen bombs?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.
What elements were found in the atomic bombs fat man and little man?
plutonium
Why was no other country been able to produce an atomic bomb?
Since 1945 eight countries have produced atomic bombs. There is no major secret. Any country sized entity that decides to produce atomic bombs can typically do so within 4 years after the decision.
How many atomic bombs does the US produce per year?
At this time (2012), none. Neither does Russia. Existing bombs are just refurbished.
Why were atomic bombs dropped on the civilians of Japan?
The United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Both targets were military (Hiroshima contained a significant military HQ, and Nagasaki a substantial naval base). However, the target cities were also chosen to show off the massive amount of damage the atomic bomb could produce, which inevitably meant causing huge numbers of civilian deaths.
What bombs were made because of atomic bombs?
More & higher yield atomic bombs, I guess.
What elements besides uranium plutonium and hydrogen can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs?
Other elements that can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs include beryllium, lithium, and thorium. These elements are used in the production of certain types of nuclear weapons to enhance their yield and efficiency.
In what war were the atomic bombs dropped?
Atomic bombs were dropped in WWII
Is uranium in atomic bombs?
Yes, uranium can be used in atomic bombs.
Did japan believe the us had the atomic bombs?
No. The US gave them cryptic messages about the bombs and never told them they had atomic bombs.
