Why is the nuclear bomb so devastating do you think it is a weapon that any country should have why or why not?
Answer The nuclear bomb not only causes destruction but it makes the area radioactive. Depending on the amount of radiation used and exposed to an area, the target area would have to be evacuated for 70 years or more. No. The more countries that have it the higher the chances that one leader or general will get desperate enough to use it.
Why was Tennessee involed in the Atomic bomb built in Oak ridge?
It was a strategic decision; if something went wrong, it would only kill white trash sourherners. It was also determined that the genetic damage due to inbreeding in the region would greatly overpower any damage from radiation poisoning, so no one would notice. Actually as part of the New Deal, the Tennesee Valley Authority built dozens of state of the art hydroelectric powerplants in the Oakridge area. Refining nuclear fuel required a massive amount of electrical power, so the location was ideal. Also the area was sparsely populated, minimizing the human risk.
Why did the atomic bomb explode before it hit the ground?
Tthe bomb is detonated before it hits the gound covering a wider area of effect, thus leaving more destruction then it would if it hit the ground.
In what way are nuclear weapons dangerous?
Nuclear weapons are dangerous because they can kill thousands in the initial blast, and leave an area dangerously radioactive for decades. Any who are exposed to this radiation may either die shortly after, or receive cancer.
How did the atomic bomb help the Americans in World War 2?
The atomic bombs saved the Americans casualties, from having to invade mainland Japan, ranging from 300,000 to 750,000. The estimates vary by different report estimates. Even the 300,000 estimate from the most generouos report would have been catastrophic. By 1944, the US Army was stripping its rear area units for infantry replacements.
If an atomic bomb hit the US would there be any safe spots from the radiation?
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)
How high are the radiation levels in japan?
They are high enough to be concerned about in the immediate area around the reactors, but as compared to Chernobyl, they are minuscule. It fades to insignificance compared to the radiation caused by the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
