A single atomic bomb does not have the power to cause harmful radiation for the whole country of the United States. If the atomic bomb detonated in the middle of the desert in Arizona, none of the population centers in Arizona would be affected. In fact, many atomic bombs have been tested and detonated within the lower 48 states without a single human fatality.
In the unlikely event of a nuclear blast in a populated area, there are very few places that are safe from the devastation of the blast. The safest course of action is to evacuate the area to avoid radiation. The population may return to the area after the radiation has naturally dissipated. Usually after about 2 to 5 years.
(EMP does not pertain to the original question)
Black rain spreads the radiation after an atomic bomb. The mushroom cloud puts radiation in the atmosphere, which becomes the black rain. Black rain is the main cause for widspread cancers and other sicknesses after an atomic bomb.
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.
mostly evaporation from the blast or subsequent radiation burns...............
If what you mean is,is an atomic bomb stronger or weaker then a regular bomb then it's the atomic bomb,a regular bomb would have only damaged Hiroshima not completely killed it( the U.S also bomb Nagasaki)
Yes. Hydrogen bombs are, in fact, a variety of atomic weapon.
Yes, the radiation was much more abundant after the atomic bomb.

Radiation Poisoning
Radiation poisoning and fallout
No, but every year the potency of the radiation is halved.
The atomic bomb helped peopole know more about radiation poisining and helped in the advancements in neuclear energy.

Radiation Poisoning
The Chernobyl disaster released around 400 times more radiation than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The explosion exposed millions of people to radiation and had widespread environmental consequences compared to the more localized impact of the atomic bomb.
biology An atomic bomb is a result of a fission reaction which is pure physics. However, the results of an atomic bomb explosion releases a tremendous amount of energy including a great amount of radiation which can cause radiation burns and affect genetic material possibly causing mutations. In that sense we can say that atomic bomb technology affects biology and therefore can be called biotechnology.
The devastation of the Atomic Bomb was known but never thought to be needed twice. There was little known knowledge of the effects of radiation.
It insenerates anything in its path and it can cause overdoses of radiation
