Atomic Bombs

No, no country has ever had a 100 megaton bomb in production.

The USSR tested a device with a 52 to 58 megaton yield called the Tsar Bomba, that they claimed was designed for 100 megatons (it was tested in a reduced yield configuration for various safety reasons). But this test was mostly for propaganda purposes and the bomb was never stockpiled in either configuration.

The US once stockpiled a missile warhead with a 25 megaton yield.

The highest yield weapons in any country's stockpile now are in the 300 kiloton to 500 kiloton range, as it has been demonstrated that anything higher is not really militarily useful.

The date isn't real. Radiocarbon dating assumes that the ratio of C-12 to C-14 remains constant. Whenever an event changes this ratio, as the Tunguska meterorite did, or nuclear weapons testing, the formula usually used is no longer valid.

August 6, 1945

The US took over three years to go from concept of designing an atomic bomb to the actual production of three atomic bombs in World War 2. They started discussion in 1941 with scientists who had warned them Germany was building an atomic bomb. They began setting up a place for production in 1942. In August of 1945 the bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan.

The atomic bombs were built by the thousands during the cold war. After the cold war, thousands were dismantled but there are still atomic missiles around world wide.

Carried out the policy from Roosevelt's term on ending World War II as soon as possible, at whatever cost, and without much regards to means of achieving it.

i dont know i ma only a fourth grader

The US were working on the bomb since 1941 up to 1945 when the first bomb tested.

It transformed theoretical physics into reality. The upside is that it set the stage for many scientific develops the best known of which was atomic power plants. The downside is that it eventually became so easy to produce the atoms explosive potentially small nations such as North Korea and Iran could establish the technology necessary to produce fishionable material.

The nuclear bombs used in Japan in the end World Two, were dropped with the warning written in pamphlets dropped days before. The symbol for nuclear danger is a yellow and black which everybody seems to know. It is even in hospitals. Nuclear power plants providing electricity are full of them. One of the harmful species from nuclear fallout is the radioactive isotope of strontium, 9038Sr. so nuclear or radiation are harmful and the warning sing has to be always placed in those places.

In a remote desertarea in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. I assume the closest town was Alamogordo, New Mexico, because that is usually given as the location of the test.

Japan didn't surrender before the bombing because they wanted to get more favorable terms of surrender. The emperor wanted to maintain control of the nation and they did not want an occupation force that would keep them from building another military. On the other hand, the rest of the world did not want Japan to build their military and attack again, so the rest of the world required unconditional surrender. The Allies had already suffered enough loss during the war and did not want to send a million soldiers to their death in an invasion of Japan, so since the Emperor refused to surrender, the Allies used nuclear weapons to force compliance. There really was no other choice to President Truman at the time.

The Japanese did not surrender because they had too much honor. Their emperor would not accept defeat and their people would fight to the death. They were not afraid and even after the bombs were dropped they didn't surrender. The Japanese surrendered because of the Soviet's threat to attack them.

By cables from a bunker 10,000 yards south from the tower that held the Gadget.

The argument was the words of President who ordered the bombs. He stated that he wanted to end the war and to collapse the means for Japan to make war ever again. There were other facts as to why to drop the bomb but wanting to end the war fell in the first place.

Their suicidal efforts convinced the US that the Japanese did not feel beaten and were not ready to surrender

If you means BESIDES America- in 1945, no one.

Roughly 100,000 in each of the two cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on which nuclear weapons were used. This is about the same number as were killed in numerous other air raids on Japan and Germany in which as many as a thousand planes would drop tens of thousands of conventional bombs.

Some atomic bombs explode on impact, most explode in the air for maximum destruction caused by the explosion spreading out over a wider area.

dunno so ask someone else like google answers

The same day they were ready Truman had the decision. The people were ok with it.

Well there can be many different answers to this question but the one that makes the most sense to me is because the U.S. was very mad that Japan attacked the U.S. on IT'S soil (Pearl harbor) so the U.S. got so mad that they dropped a atomic bomb on Japan to end the war once and for all. Also they chose this over a land invasion because after they calculated the results they thought a land invasion would be too costly for both sides.

ummm really bad. due to the fireball explosion and the extreme radiation people disenigrated into what is basically carbon and so did everything else. it depended what radius you were from the bomb. if you were really many miles away you may have just been shaken, but very close were intense winds and ashes.

large test area and to see if bomb worked
