There are 2 main nuclear weapons labs. 1 at Los Alamos, NM (established 1943) and 1 at Livermore, CA (established 1952). Each weapons lab eventually had a nearby branch of Sandia Labs (Los Alamos in Kirkland AFB in Albquequeque, NM and Livermore nearby in Livermore, CA) that designed the non-nuclear parts of the weapons. Once designed and prototypes built and tested production was moved to a factory like PANTEX outside Amarillo, TX. Dozens of facilities across the country supplied these labs and factories with nuclear and non-nuclear components; including Hanford, WA (plutonium metal), Oakridge, TN (enriched uranium metal), Fernald, OH (plutonium and uranium extrusions and machined parts), etc.

What is the difference between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
The difference between an A-Bomb and H-Bomb is the energy reaction inside them, one of them is nuclear fusion and the other one is nuclear fission. A-Bombs contain a unstable nuclei such as Uranium 235, whiles H-Bombs contain light stable isotopes of hydrogen and sometimes helium. Nuclear fusion is the merging of atoms/particles, whilst nuclear fission is the splitting and break down of a big unstable nuclei.
Is there fluoride in the atomic bomb?
Yes, fluoride is sometimes used in the production of nuclear weapons to help purify and enrich uranium for fuel or bombs. However, the amount of fluoride present in an atomic bomb itself is typically very small and not a primary component of the weapon.
How many atomic bombs have been tested?
Approximately 2,056 atomic bombs have been tested since the first one in 1945. These tests have been conducted by different countries for various purposes including weapon development, deterrence, and strategic analysis. Many of these tests have been carried out underground or in remote locations to minimize their effects on the environment and population.
What were the atomic bombs made of?
little boy the first atom bomb used uranium 235 and fat man the second one used plutonium 239 surrounded by high explosives little boy used uranium 235 and fat man used plutonium 239<------- That answer makes no sense, and ima girl and i asked that question. What are you stupid? Little Boy was the first bomb, and Fat Man was the second.

How were the two atomic bombs dropped in japan different?
one of the atomic bombs blew up a town; which was heavily populated, and the other completely whipped out a island.
What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?
The main difference between atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs is the source of their energy. Atomic bombs rely on nuclear fission (splitting atoms), while hydrogen bombs use a two-stage process involving both fission and fusion (combining atoms). Hydrogen bombs are more powerful and destructive than atomic bombs.
How many atomic bombs are needed to destroy an entire city?
