Atomic Bombs

The nuclear bomb is the result of the The Manhattan Project. Robert Oppenheimer was the person put in charge of making the atomic bombs.

According to the Motor Company, no, it was not. And if you look at photos of the two bombs, Little Boy and Fat Man, you'll see there's no resemblance to the 1990 Fat Boy's paint scheme, either.

Probably nil. There have only been two atomic bomb launches on actual cities (in WWII, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) that killed millions of people BACK THEN. But now, the radiation probably faded away, and thus causes no more deaths.

the Japanese and Americans because it happened to the Japanese and the Americans were the ones that did it .

The atomic bomb was created in Los Alamos, New Mexico. many people may think that it was made in New York because the project behind the building of the atomic bomb was called the Manhattan Project. it is called this because it is named after the location of Columbia University that held much of the early research for the nuclear program. Today there is a museum of the atomic bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico where you can visit and learn more about the atomic bomb.

Hiroshima, Japan. August 6, 1945.

The atomic bombs were dropped on Japan in order to end the war as quickly and painlessly as possible. Owing to the fact that every other viable option would have resulted in even more bloodshed, the decision to drop the bombs ultimately saved lives.

The atomic bomb was used to revenge Japan from a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941 (December 8 in Japan). Two atomic bombs were used on Japan. The first was released over Hiroshima on August 6 1945 (the first ever atomic bomb used) and the second was released three days later over Nagasaki. The bombs were dropped from B-29 bomber aircraft.

The United States of America intended to bomb the capital of Japan, Tokyo, but due to the weather both the atomic bombs missed.

Atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki in Japan at the end of WW2.

Edward Teller was determined to build it and invented many unsuccessful designs. Stan Ulam, working on improved atomic bomb designs, showed Teller the radiation implosion technique. Teller recognized this as the missing feature to make the hydrogen bomb work; resulting in the Teller-Ulam design. This was successfully tested in 1952, shot Ivy Mike at 10 megatons yield. Teller had already left Los Alamos a few months before the test to start Livermore Labs, so he was not involved.

It was called The Manhattan Project.

No, they did not. They couldn't even come up with a decent RADAR unit for their ships like the Allies had. They had no warplanes big enough to carry the Atomic Bomb anywhere useful. By the time the Atomic bombs were dropped (killing 85,000 and 65,000 people each) Tokyo was 3/4 destroyed by conventional bombing. On the first day of using conventional incendiary bombs on Tokyo, 100,000 of its citizens were killed. One the first day! Many other Japanese industrial and port cities were similarly wiped out.

The estimate were 100,000 casualties for the US.

The bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of TNT. It had more than 2,000 times the blast power of the British Grand Slam, which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare.

ATOMIC SHADOW - In a few seconds after an atomic bomb goes off the area around it is bathed in intense heat rays streaming out from the detonation point. Temps of objects hit by the rays can climb to 1,000 degrees or more. This causes wood to char to black while old, dirty concrete can be "bleached" white. If any object blocks the heat rays for those few seconds a portion of the surface is spared and does not change color leaving a "shadow."

If a person is a mile from ground zero at a nuclear blast there is no sound or shock wave for a few seconds. Just blinding light and incredible heat which arrives at the speed of light. Traveling at the speed of sound the shock wave hits after about 5 seconds.

Sadly, in the case of Hiroshima some of the shadows left are in the shape of people. A man's shadow is burned into the surface of a concrete footbridge while a woman's shadow shows where she was sitting on the step of the local bank. In both cases the people were killed having been vaporized by the heat and the subsequent shock wave that arrived a few seconds later.

Michihiko Hachiya wrote: 100's of people were trying to escape to the hills passed our house. The sight of them was almost unbearable. Their faces and hands were burnt and swollen and great sheets of skin had peeled away from their tissues to hang down like rags on a scarecrow. They moved like a line of ants. All through the night they went past our house, but this morning they stopped. I foound them lying so thick on both sides of the road that it was impossible to pass without stepping on them.

One Hiroshima survivor described the death of her daughter from radiation sickness: "She had no burns and only minor external wounds. She was quite alright until the next day when her hair began to fall out, she had blisters and her skin which began to peel and she vomited up clumps of blood. No one knew what it was, not even the doctors. We were all afraid of it. After 10 days of agony and torture, she died on September 14th."

It is incredible that there were any survivors and the world was awe struck at the devastation that this bomb had caused. What was more awesome was how quickly the Japanese people of Hiroshima and Nagisaki pulled together and began to rebuild. Even more heartbreaking and leaving most of us in wonderment is the fact that most Japanese people have forgiven those that have done this. My mind and heart cannot fathom this.

Why was Pearl Harbor attacked without warning also? You will find online that we dropped leaflets over the cities before we destroyed them. I'm not sure if we actually did drop leaflets, but if we did, we did not drop them on Nagasaki or Hiroshima. They were dropped on other cities after the destruction of the others.

Against Japan: Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Bikini Atoll. The name was in the news so much that it was taken for a new type of two-piece ladies swimsuit from a daring French designer appearing at around the same time, equally hot.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Figure out a way to remove the nuclear material, and there will be no reaction.

Unfortunately, atomic bombs are usually dropped from the sky, detonating on impact.

Even if it was not the purpose, it did and no one could do anything about it.

None. The first atomic bomb was made with enriched uranium. Note: There is a "slight technicality" with this one. Here's the deal. Any time that a small quantity (or a slightly larger quantity) of uranium is found, either in nature or in the physics lab, there will be a tiny bit of plutonium in the sample. Only the tiniest bit, but it will be there. Uranium's isotopes are all unstable, and they will decay by spontaneous fission or alpha emission. Within that decay environment, a few atoms of uranium are transformed into atoms of plutonium. As stated, it's a "technicality" as such, but it's a fact.

There was a 3rd Atomic Bomb called the gadget bomb. It was based on the 'fat man' bomb. However, it was never used as Japan surrendered, it was schedule to be detonated on Japan on August 12th 1945 but due to the surrender, it was never used.

no

It killed thousands of people when we dropped bombs on japan. many people died instantly and others died of radiation poisoning. after the second bomb was dropped japan surrendered,and world war two ended. It seems terrible and it is, but by doing that in the long run it saved millions.
