Unfortunately that is very uncertain. Fallout from US Nevada tests alone reached everyone of the "lower 48" states and parts of Canada and Mexico. Statistics on actual radiation levels deposited are spotty. Also how do you count properly deaths caused decades later by latent injury, stillbirths, and birth defects that are eventually fatal. Fallout from the US big pacific tests and USSR big Siberian and arctic tests distributed itself around the globe multiple times. No statistics were even collected on these tests.
In other words, we just don't know.
What else can I help you with?
In what state did the us first conduct nuclear tests?
New Mexico (1945)
What led to the signing of the limited nuclear test ban treaty?
To be able to monitor unconditionally all nuclear tests. If nuclear tests are allowed freely, no third party would have rights to observe and provide expertise, no error reporting available, no standard recollection of facts, no responsibility recorded.Read more: Why_is_the_nuclear_test_ban_treaty_important
Are there still British nuclear tests happening at the Maralinga test site in south Australia?
The United Kingdom is a signatory to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty with their last test in 1991 For note, the final European nuclear test was by the French in 1996.
Who discovered the einsteinium?
Einsteinium was identified for the first time in nuclear tests debris from Eniwetak by Albert Ghiorso and co-workers in 1952; after this isotopes of Es were prepared in laboratory.
How many Americans have died in space?
No Americans have died in space. All the deaths during spaceflight have been during launch (7) , during re-entry (7), or on pre-launch tests (3).
What measures nuclear exposure in humans?
The level of nuclear exposure in humans is measured using dosimeters, which are devices that detect and measure the amount of radiation a person has been exposed to. This can include measuring external radiation exposure from sources like X-rays or nuclear fallout, as well as internal exposure from ingesting or inhaling radioactive materials. Medical tests such as blood tests and urine tests can also be used to monitor for signs of nuclear exposure in humans.
Did people get radiated and deformed at yucca flats?
Yucca flats was chosen as a nuclear testing ground precisely because there was no one living there. Some military personnel were exposed to radiation, but not to an extreme degree, because they took precautions. I am not aware of any hideous mutants resulting from these tests.
What are some physics projects?
Depends what topic. I see you have put this question under the nuclear category so I take it that it's nuclear power your doing? Well you could do radiation tests. Get different substances with volumes of radiation and put a Geiger Counter in them. You could then go on to explain how the Geiger Counter works and what substances contain different volumes of radiation.
Does most of the radiation exposure for an average citizen in the US come from nuclear power plant operation and early atmospheric nuclear weapons tests?
No, radiation from these sources is negligible. Most comes from natural background, which depends a lot on the geology of the area. Radon is usually the biggest factor (see the link below)
Can underground nuclear tests alter earth's axial tilt?
No, underground nuclear tests cannot alter the Earth's axial tilt. The axial tilt of Earth is determined by gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies and is not influenced by nuclear tests.
One way humans do not benefit from the discovery of radiation?
Since it has been discovered and accepted, we have to take tests on it in school.
What nuclear tests did the US do in space?
None.
How does the camera not disintergrate during nuclear bomb tests?
Cameras used during nuclear bomb tests are typically placed at a safe distance where the blast pressure and heat do not directly impact them. Additionally, the cameras may be shielded with protective casings or placed in lead-lined boxes to minimize the radiation exposure. Special materials and designs are also used to withstand the extreme conditions of a nuclear explosion.
How was nuclear fallout discovered?
Nuclear fallout was discovered in the aftermath of nuclear bomb tests conducted during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Scientists observed radioactive particles and isotopes in the environment, particularly after atmospheric tests. The fallout was identified as a significant health hazard when studies showed increased radiation levels in areas downwind from test sites, leading to concerns about the effects on human health and the environment. This prompted further research and monitoring of radioactive materials released during nuclear detonations.
When were nuclear tests carried out in India?
The first test at Pokhran was in 1974, there were more tests in 1998
Which state has held the most nuclear tests?
Nevada.
Can nuclear bomb explode in space?
Yes. There have been several tests establishing this beyond a doubt, including the actual detonation of nuclear devices. It's currently prohibited by international treaties, though, since the tests produced new radiation belts and resulted in damage to the electronics of several satellites that passed through the belts. The radiation belts also produced bright auroral displays in both the north and south (until the belts finally disbursed). At least one manned US spaceflight had to be delayed following one of these tests for fear the capsule would pass through the radiation belt and result in overexposure to the astronauts.
