Atomic Bombs
Atomic bomb is an explosive device in which a large amount of energy is released through nuclear reactions. This makes an atomic bomb, more properly called a nuclear weapon, a much more powerful device than any conventional bomb containing chemical explosives. The first Atomic Bombs were used during World War 2 in 1945 by the US onto 2 Japanese cities.

Where can you buy Atomic Bomb?
You can't.
If you mean in a video game (e.g. Fallout New Vegas), then state which one you're talking about.
Can you compare the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb?
Yes, however on one level they are the same thing as both obtain their energy from the release of excess nuclear binding energy. However as the terms have traditionally been used the differences are as follows:
- atomic bomb, a rather simple bomb operating with nuclear fission of heavy element(s) within a "prompt supercritical mass" of a fissile isotope initiated by a pulse of neutrons. The most commonly used fissile isotopes are plutonium-239, uranium-235 (uranium-233 could also be used but has properties similar to plutonium-239). The yield of such a bomb is limited to less than one megaton (with the highest yield such bomb ever tested only half that).
- hydrogen bomb, a rather complicated bomb operating with nuclear fusion of light element(s) compressed and heated using x-rays generated by either an atomic bomb or another hydrogen bomb in a previous "stage" of the bomb. This "staging" principal permits the yield of a hydrogen bomb to be as large as desired, also the yield can be increased (as well as the fallout) by enclosing the bomb in uranium (even the nonfissionable isotope uranium--238 usually considered "waste" after enriching uranium-235 for atomic bombs can be used) which will be fissioned by the high energy fusion neutrons. This can multiply the yield of the bomb by a factor between 2 to 10 times!
What are the reasons for using mesh networking?
Mesh networking is a type of network in which each node relays data for the network. This type of network is very reliable because it does not have a single point of failure. Mesh networks are also very scalable because they can be easily expanded as needed. One disadvantage of mesh networking is that it can be more expensive to set up and maintain than other types of networks.
Why did American refuse to share nuclear secrets?
Actually the US after WW2 offered to share everything about nuclear weaponry (the Baruch Plan on June 15, 1946), but the USSR refused the offer (they already had it all anyway through spies).
What were the Atomic Bomb's names in World War 2?
- Gadget, MK-III plutonium implosion assembly mechanism, tested on 100 foot steel tower July 16, 1945 at Trinity Site, NM
- Little Boy, MK-I uranium gun assembly mechanism, dropped August 6, 1945 on Hiroshima
- Fatman, MK-III plutonium implosion assembly mechanism, dropped August 9, 1945 on Nagasaki
- unnamed, MK-III plutonium implosion assembly mechanism, arrived in San Francisco on August 18, 1945 (probably could have been dropped around August 25, 1945) but was returned to Los Alamos because Truman had ordered further atomic bombing stopped without his personal authorization.
Twenty more atomic bombs were scheduled for production and delivery before the end of 1945 and production could have continued at at least seven a month after that.
In fact production slowed rapidly after the end of the war (with no more demand for atomic bombs and to allow maintenance and repair of the Hanford reactors) and only five more had been produced by the end of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946 (which detonated two more MK-III plutonium implosion assembly mechanism bombs named Able and Baker).
What observations did the doctor make about the effects of the bomb?
The doctor observed that the bomb caused widespread destruction and significant injuries among the population, with many individuals suffering from severe burns and trauma. He noted the psychological impact on survivors, who were left in shock and distress. Additionally, the doctor remarked on the overwhelming number of casualties, which strained medical resources and highlighted the devastating consequences of such weaponry on human life.
Why did Henry L Stimson decided to use the atomic bomb?
Henry L. Stimson, the U.S. Secretary of War during World War II, supported the use of the atomic bomb primarily to expedite Japan's surrender and bring a swift end to the war, potentially saving countless lives on both sides. He believed that using the bomb would demonstrate overwhelming military power, thus compelling Japan to capitulate without the need for a costly invasion of the Japanese mainland. Stimson also thought that the bomb's deployment would strengthen the U.S. position in post-war negotiations and deter future aggression from other nations.
What technologies do you think make arson and bomb crimes easier to accomplish successfully Why?
Technologies such as timers, remote detonation devices, and incendiary accelerants can make arson and bomb crimes easier to accomplish successfully because they allow perpetrators to set off the devices from a distance and with precise timing, reducing the risk of being caught in the act. Additionally, advancements in online resources and tutorials make it easier for individuals to access information on constructing and deploying such devices.
What response did people have to the Atomic age In other words how did people's lives change?
People were optimistic at the start of the Atomic age. They thought all power generators would be atomic from then on.

No, Truman never even began to consider such a thing. Truman's main priority following the use of Atomic Bombs in WW2 was to see that they never be used again. In fact the only orderTruman ever issued on his own initiative (not just a continuation of orders and policies determined by FDR) during WW2 about the Atomic Bomb was to stop the bombing when Japan sent their intentions to surrender on August 14, 1945 (by this time Los Alamos had already finished the third Atomic Bomb and shipped it to San Fransisco, when it arrived in San Francisco on August 18, 1945 it was returned to Los Alamos because of Truman's order, instead of being flown to Tinian to prepare it to drop on Japan).
Note: the Manhattan Project had the factories built and operating and production plans scheduled to make a total of 23 Atomic Bombs to drop on Japan before the end of 1945, if necessary. Not just the 2 used.
When was the first military bomb disposal robot made?
The first military bomb disposal robot, known as the "PackBot," was developed in the late 1990s by iRobot. It was specifically designed for the U.S. military to safely disarm explosives and was first deployed in combat in 2003 during the Iraq War. Prior to the PackBot, various other robotic systems were experimented with, but this marked a significant advancement in bomb disposal technology.
What was the name of the two planes used to drop the bombs?
The atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That was the Enola Gay. If your question was something else then I don't know the answer.
