The atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki caused extensive devastation, killing an estimated 40,000-75,000 people and injuring many more. The city's infrastructure and buildings were severely damaged, with widespread fires and radioactive fallout further compounding the destruction.
Nagasaki (Japan) - 9 August 1945 - a bomb containing 6,4 kg of Plutonium 239
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.
The area that a nuclear explosion can damage depends on the size of the bomb and the altitude at which it detonates. A large nuclear bomb detonated at ground level can create a blast radius of several miles, while detonating a smaller bomb at higher altitudes can generate an electromagnetic pulse that can affect a much larger area.
The damage caused by a nuclear bomb depends on various factors such as the size of the bomb and the distance from the epicenter of the explosion. In general, a nuclear bomb can cause devastating destruction, including severe structural damage, fires, and radiation exposure, potentially leading to widespread casualties and long-term health effects. The most powerful nuclear bombs have the potential to level entire cities and cause significant environmental damage.
Little Boy, about 9000 pounds. Fat Man about 10000 pounds.
Nagasaki
Although the Hiroshima bomb had lower yield than the Nagasaki bomb, it did more damage because it:exploded closer to its intended APHiroshima is on flatter land than Nagasaki allowing the blast wave to cover more land, the hills surrounding Nagasaki contained the blast wave limiting the range of damage.
The explosion in Nagasaki was bigger but the damage was less because of the terrain. Fat man, the bomb dropped over Nagasaki was a plutonium implosion type bomb compared with the uranium fission bomb dropped over Hiroshima.
In Hiroshima was little boy and in Nagasaki was fat man.
It was a series of cameras dropped onparachuteson Nagasaki to video the damage done to the area.
60,000-80,000
the population of Nagasaki after the atomic bomb was 166,000.
It was actually the lower yield MK-I Little boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima that did more damage.The higher yield MK-III Fatman bomb was accidentally dropped much further from its target (almost 2 miles away) and the blast wave was contained by the surrounding hills.
Yes, the radiation was much more abundant after the atomic bomb.
Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum was created in 1955.
No, Fat man was the bomb dropped over Nagasaki.
