Hydrogen bombs are caused by atoms fusing together--fusion. Each fusion releases energy. When enough atoms get fused, it causes a big explosion--big enough to wipe out a city.
Atomic bombs can also be caused by fission--atoms splitting apart. Each split atom releases energy. If enough atoms get split up the energy released can wipe out cities such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The US made atomic bombs from 1945 to 1992.
1945. I cannot be more descriptive since the question asks for the year and there you have it. The year-1945.
The two atomic bomb attacks on Japan were in August 1945 (the 6th and 9th, to be exact).
Japan refused to surrender. Japan did not believe in surrender, and hated people who did surrender instead of dying to the last person. Pres. Truman dropped two atomic bombs on Japan and Japan surrendered. It was either two atomic bombs or invasion of Japan. Invasion of Japan would mean that the war would last another year and kill a lot more people than the atomic bombs did. Japan surrendered after Nagasaki was bombed, not after Hiroshima. It was either the atomic bombs or invasion. Atomic bombs were the lesser of two evils.
The U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945.

At this time (2012), none. Neither does Russia. Existing bombs are just refurbished.

By the end of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946, the US had built a total of 9 atomic bombs and detonated 5 of them, leaving only 4 in the stockpile. Records obtained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists suggest that by the end of 1946 the US had built 5 more atomic bombs, ending the year with 9 in the stockpile.While the Hanford reactors had a design capacity of 3 atomic bomb cores every month, its very obvious that they were being operated far below capacity through 1945 and 1946 to minimize neutron irradiation damage to the graphite moderator and/or shutdown for repairs frequently.

It was December 8th 1941 when the US dropped the bombs on Japan.
