Nuclear Weapons

Actually an aircraft in the air in a nuclear war has far more to worry about from blast damage or thermal flash damage than EMP effects. Blast could easily tear off wings or control surfaces. Thermal flash could scorch the skin of the aircraft or melt/craze windows making it impossible to see. Either could cause failure of the fuselage resulting in depressurization.

The offically verdict was that the Japanese ignored the call for surrender and the reason being is because they are proud people which would rather die than surrender.

But the more realistic term which is often denied is that they really didn't have a choice.

America wanted to send the nukes in for the first practical test on live subjects.

In order to produce the magnetic coils essential in the production of Uranium metal from Uranium dioxide, AC wound the coils out of pure silver (Because Silver was available to replace the critically short copper during wartime. A total of 6,000 tons of silver was borrowed from the West Point Depository to create the coils.) The coils were produced, the Uranium was processed, the bombs were built and the war was won. That is why a tractor manufacturer was a prime contractor in the construction of the Atomic Bomb.

Pakistan has about 100 nuclear weapons.

Cockroaches would survive a nuclear war. Since lawyers are an even lower life-form they should too.

They starve and die, likely becoming caniballistic or committing suicide, escape through damaged portions of the prison, or the employees unlock the doors upon fleeing. Not a way to tell, as all prison keepers will flee to their families in the event of a nuclear war. The question remaining would only be as follows: Does the prison guard unlock the doors in the prison upon his departure.

There were US and Allied POWs at bother Hiroshima and Nagasaki, not one of them became a cannibal, not one committed suicide, few of them were actually locked up at the time of the attacks. Of those that were, some were killed by fires that consumed the buildings where they were held, others were released. Of those at Hiroshima, a few died from the blast, several were stoned to death by irate Japanese citizens.

In the aftermath of the two bombings, there are no reported cases of cannibalism amongst the civilian populace. It is likely that some Japanese did commit suicide. As for the aftermath of the bomb, if you will notice, Hiroshima, Nagaski, and even Japan, continue to exist today. So much for the end of the world

No, China has several hundred nuclear bombs and has had bombs since 1964.

160 million per year just for the personnel.

add aircraft fuel and maintenance parts, and you're looking at closer to $400 million per year.

add the cost of the carrier ($4.5 billion) and divide it over its lifetime (about 40 years) and you're looking at about $530,000,000 per year which is close to $1,450,000 per day.

Carriers launch on average 18 times (with 18 recoveries) per day including time in port and time in shipyads.

That means each carrier launch costs $80,600.

Fusion. However in standard fusion bombs about 90% of the yield comes from fission of Uranium-238 in the fusion tamper and radiation channel guide from fast 15MeV fusion neutrons.

is this a serious question?, and yes it can it and will disintegrate it!

Sunlight and an ordinary magnifying glass can destroy a diamond, they are just carbon and burn when heated enough!

Mutual Assured Destruction was the military posture for most of the Cold War (1945-1991). It was the concept that neither of the superpowers, the US or the USSR could use nuclear weapons to wipe out the other, because the result would be that both sides were destroyed. To that end, both countries built increasingly large and diverse stockpiles of bombers, missiles, ships, and submarines to insure that a first strike would not prevent retaliation. Each side had to be aware of the other's potential and have the ability to counteract any destabilizing technology.

With orbital launchers and anti-ballistic missiles banned, eventually the number of nuclear warheads reached a plateau, and both sides agreed to limitation (SALT) and then to reduction (START), which was underway when the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 finally meant a general relaxation in the dangerous stalemate.

In Nuclear Bombs, continuous uncontrollable chain reactions (fission) occur. When 1 Uranium-235 atom decays by fission, it produces high speed fission fragments (mostly barium and crypto) that cause the great rise in temperature and 2 or 3 neutrons. When each of those neutrons collide with another Uranium-235 atoms , they decay in the same way producing high speed fission fragments and more neutrons and so a high temperature , speed and explosive waves are created which spread over a large area depending on the amount of uranium in the bomb . Secondly, when the fission fragments have their speed deceased slightly; they also start decaying by Alpha, Beta or Gamma radiations as they are also radioactive. They have long half-lives so they stay in their place (as they take very long time to decay) and cause much harm to our human body, since they are considered to be poisonous. You can also notice how the Japanese people are still affected by the radiations since the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So they have long term side effect. They are harmful chemicals after all.

There is more information on the fission of uranium at the related question listed below.

Probably around 50 to 60 as most of the fallout is fission fragments from fissions of the uranium-238 radiation casing surrounding the fusion stage due to 15MeV fission neutrons generated. About 90% of the bomb yield is from this fission also.

The concern was that the USSR might retaliate by using atomic bombs on our troops in Korea.

Fermi did not invent the fission bomb, Leo Szilard did in 1933. But nobody could build one because no material that would support a neutron chain reaction was known until 1938 when Otto Hahn discovered that the rare isotope Uranium-235 would. Even then it took the US from 1942 to 1945 to build the industrial infrastructure needed to purify enough of this isotope to actually build one Uranium bomb and fuel 3 reactors that could each make enough Plutonium in a month to make a Plutonium bomb.

of course more countries will aquire more nukes the post soviet era has led to some missing or undefended nukes which are easy to obtian,if you have enough money and with more and more coutries obtaining nuclear power it isn't much harder to enrich uranium further to weapon status and other countries a;ready have acquired nukes like Iran and north Korea and so with more developing countries becoming more industralized it is inevitable that more sountries will develop nukes in their quest for power and land

No, Enrico Fermi constructed and operated the first nuclear reactor (CP-1) in 1942. Several larger nuclear reactors were needed first to make the plutonium for the MK-3 Fatman atomic bomb, which was not tested until 1945. Their principles of operation are quite different, except that both operate by nuclear chain reaction.

Hiroshima in da mouth

No, Nazi Germany had no nuclear weapons.

The United States has only used nuclear missiles in military actions in one war, World War Two against the Empire of Japan on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The United States has not used nuclear arms in any conflict, they aren't wars we have not issued a declaration of war or had one declared against us since world war two, due to the assumed consequences of using one. In Korea had we used a nuclear missile against the North Korean's and their Chinese allies, Russia and possibly china, i don't recall when they first acquired nuclear arms at this time, would have used them against us. Same for Vietnam, had we used nuclear arms the enemy would have retaliated and all hell broken loose. Basically: Mutually Assured Destruction.

Ronald Reagan

There are currently no nuclear weapons big enough that just one could destroy the US. It is possible that enough of them could pretty much destroy our way of life for decades to come.
