When was the first atomic explosion?

There has never been an atomic detonation to date in mexican territory. Since the country sponsored and signed the Treaty of Tlatelolco wich objective is to ban any nuclear based weapon in Latin America, it is still unlikely that Mexico would develop or test nuclear weapons.


What happens when the mass of fissile material used in nuclear weapons is subcritical?

Nothing, it has to become supercritical for a nuclear detonation to happen. Most bombs perform this transition from subcritical state to supercritical state by an implosion driven by conventional explosive lenses. Once supercritical a neutron source is fired through the fissile material to start the reaction leading to the nuclear detonation.There is a special type of test detonation called a hydronuclear test where the amount of fissile material remains subcritical throughout the implosion. When the neutron source fires the reaction simply multiplies the number of neutrons by a factor then dies out. No nuclear detonation happens. Measurements of this neutron flux can tell about the quality of the implosion, safety, etc. But as there is no nuclear yield, several of the nuclear test ban treaties allowed these hydronuclear tests while banning tests with nuclear yields.


Can a underground nuke bomb test create an earthquake?

Yes, an underground nuclear bomb test has the potential to create seismic waves that can be detected and recorded as an earthquake. The magnitude of the seismic event would depend on the yield of the nuclear explosion and the geology of the surrounding area.


What test's the flow of blood through the heart during activ ity is evaluated through the use of a radionuclide?

A nuclear stress test is typically used to evaluate the flow of blood through the heart during activity using a radionuclide tracer. This test helps to identify any blockages or abnormalities in the blood flow to the heart muscle.
