The radiation levels of atomic bombs vary according to the amount of radioactive elements put into the bombs or missiles and if they are actually used. Once the radioactive matter is inside the bomb housing the radiation levels are negligible but once one of the nuclear bombs is used then the variables come into play. (see related link below to see how complex it is)
Consider this: the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 are 1/10th the killing power of today's nuclear missiles. If one modern nuclear missile were to be used today the bomb would be able to kill about a third of the world with the initial bomb blast and radiation fallout.
The radiation level after Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not really measured until after the US occupied Japan. The Japanese leaders did not really understand the radiation fallout and poisonous danger and they did not use radiation detectors right after the blast. It is rumored the radiation levels were 100 times today's acceptable levels of radiation.
What else can I help you with?
What are 3 ways people are killed by atomic bombs?
blast, thermal and radiation :) i remember from highschool
What was process of the atomic bomb?
There are several processes that happen in atomic bombs, the main ones are:Fission bombs - hydrodynamics, neutron chain reaction, fission.Fusion bombs - hydrodynamics, radiation transport, thermonuclear fusion, fission.Many other secondary processes occur also.
What bombs were made because of atomic bombs?
More & higher yield atomic bombs, I guess.
Does the H bomb have radiation?
Yes. Hydrogen bombs are, in fact, a variety of atomic weapon.
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.
What is the energy transfer for Atomic Bombs?
radiation
How much radiation do atomic bombs give off?
Atomic bombs release various forms of radiation, including gamma rays, neutrons, and initial infrared radiation. The amount of radiation depends on the type and yield of the bomb. Immediate exposure to high levels of radiation can cause severe radiation sickness, burns, and even death.
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.
How did atomic bombs affect your planet?
it made it greener with radiation...
What effects still exist in Japan from the atomic bombs?
no effects still exist. Nukes leave a lot of radiation etc but not atomic bombs
How many people died from radiation sickness from the atomic bombs?
about 65,000
Is there any radiation of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki left nowadays?
Actually, it has been decades without radiation that came from the atomic bombs.

Why atomic bombs are danger?
First of all, because of the immediate destruction they cause. Atomic bombs flatten EVERYTHING in their radius due to the enormous amount of energy released on impact. Secondly, because of the long-term damage these bombs cause. Radiation is released form these bombs. Radiation is commonly a carcinogen, or a cancer causing agent. It can lead o birth defects, diseases, and very often fatalities.
What bombs were made because of atomic bombs?
More & higher yield atomic bombs, I guess.
Can a rat survive an atomic bomb?
No animals can survive atomic bombs. However, some animals, especially refering to cockroaches, can survive radiation up to a certain level.
