The British held tests in two places on the mainland. Emu Field, in the Great Victoria Desert, was used in 1953 with smaller tests in the late 1950's. Maralinga, also in the Great Victoria Desert, was the main permanent testing site.

Where are atom bombs now?

On your mom!


How many tons of tnt equals the power of a atom bomb?

that varies with yield, which is specified in tons of TNT and would thus be your answer. atomic bombs have been built and tested with yields from 10 tons of TNT to over 50 million tons of TNT.


Were there Hydrogen Bombs in World War 1?

No. Atomic bombs were used during WW2 in Japan, but they were "fission" weapons, which derived their destructive power from splitting apart the nucleus of an atom. Hydrogen bombs derive their destructive power from "fusion" reactions, or the merging of two Hydrogen atoms. This is the same chemical reaction that powers the sun. Hydrogen bombs were tested for the first time on November 1, 1952.


How are atoms helpful to the world?

I saw this question before and I hope you mean atom bombs not just atoms. Atoms are in everything in the entire world. Atom Bombs are controversial. Someone from my generation would say there should be no atom bombs, particularly the powerful atom bombs in existence now. Others way we must have them for defense. The problem is there is a cat and mouse game that goes on. One country says I have these bombs. Another says, well we have these bombs and they are better than yours. And it goes on and on. If Josef Stalin had merely forgotten about the bombs there would have been no atom bomb arms race. Many of the bombs have been dismantled but not all of them. People fail to realize there are enough of them to destroy the entire world. So to me they are not helpful. They are the product of two little boys playing the "mine is better game and you better not get a better one."
