Nuclear Weapons

It's random every time.

The Cuban Missile War was the most devastating war in world history. The estimated number of North American deaths was upwards of 200 million. Double, perhaps even quadruple that number of Soviet, Eastern European, and Chinese citizens perished, and no one had any reliable data on how many Western Europeans, Africans, Asians, Australians, and others were killed by the radioactive fallout as it enveloped the globe.

It really would depend on it's size, but I would say no, a single hydrogen bomb could not ordinarily decimate an entire state.

No, Einstein had very little to do with the design of any nuclear weapon beyond signing a letter written by Szilard to FDR that warned that the Germans were likely working on such a bomb and if they were we better get there first.

Almost impossible unless you steal one.

Although the United States has lost 11 Nukes and they still haven't been found.

Invaded? Possibly Conquered? That is about as likely as freezing fire.

for instance you could go and look in an encyclopedia instead of grovelling over the computer looking at my awnser you beg

The uranium enrichment plants were built at Oak Ridge, TN and powered by cheap electricity generated by the Tennessee Valley Authority.

if you mean apology, why would one be needed it was war.

North Korea is known to have performed 2 underground tests of a fission device, the first on 10/9/06 (not fully successful) and the second on 5/25/09 (believed successful).Two days later, they unilaterally withdrew from the 1953 Cease-Fire agreement between them and South Korea (tantamount to a declaration of war) is also extremely troubling. They already posses the ballistic missile capability; possessing the warhead to go with it would fundamentally shift the balance of power in the Asiatic region.

Unlike more responsible nations, North Korea wouldn't hesitate to use nukes if it served their interest. However, in doing so they'd likely lose everything - such a irresponsible act would not go unpunished lightly.

In the 1900's :)

It is an extremely subjective question to ask if violence can ever be justified and everyone has a different answer. The question has been argued about in philosophy for centuries.

What size of Hydrogen Bomb? How many megatons? the biggest size of hydrogen bomb can done ...........

No nuclear weapons were used in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 as such weapons did not exist and would not exist until July 1945 when the US built the first ones. The first use of a nuclear weapon in war was the US attack on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945; the bomb was a relatively simple and very inefficient (~1%) fast fission neutron chain reaction Uranium-235 (80% enrichment) gun bomb.

It could be a stuffed catalytic converter.

They say it is a way of making up defenses against the South, but the events of the past few years suggest that they want the world to see them as a real country and not as a joke resulting of WWII. They are always in for exchanging their nuclear program for economic support from other Asian countries as well as the U.S.A.

my 1997 Geo Metro acts the same way, I was able to figure out that it was a fuel problem because I sprayed some carburetor cleaner into the air filter compartment and it started, it would keep running as long as I kept spraying. I mentioned it to a mechanic friend and he suggested I replace the fuel pump relay. Based on my own experience with other cars, when its time to replace the relay it is usually time to replace the fuel pump too, because it might be starting to have a problem that causes the relay to overload.

I do not understand your question- there are no nuclear bombs in Japan in 2011. Please give your question some thought, reword it, and ask again.

The H-Bomb, or Hydrogen Bomb, has never been used in warfare- the bombs dropped on japan at the end of WW2 were ATOMIC bombs, which are not as destructive. The Hydrogen Bomb is very much more powerful than the atom bomb, and has only ever been exploded in tests. For full information, Google 'US Hydrogen Bomb' and see what comes up.

By 1960 the US, USSR, UK, and France had nuclear weapons. China got them in 1964.

It really depends on the terrain surrounding the blast and the altitude of the blast. EMP would be negligible, as those effects are only seen during very high altitude detonations (in space or upper atmosphere, for instance). I'd have to say a safe answer of one to two miles if you're including overpressure capable of damaging a building or less as a general rule for a weapon of this yield.

According to my circular slide rule nuclear weapons effects calculator, the blast damage radius (defined as 1 PSI maximum overpressure) for a 20KT surface burst is 2 miles, assuming level terrain. It would leave a crater in soil 0.0145 miles (25.52 yards) deep and 0.06 miles (105.6 yards) radius at the lip, or in rock/concrete 0.012 miles (21.12 yards) deep and 0.05 miles (88 yards) radius at the lip.

Missile defense systems are very limited in nature. If one missile gets out of control, it might be shot down as the USS Lake Erie shot down a USA missile in a test on Feb. 14, 2009. If there are several missiles coming at you, they will overwhelm the best defense systems. Missile defense systems do Nothing to stop aircraft bombers. Bombers that fly below radar. Bombers that have stealth anti radar covering. Bombers that carry air-to-air and/or air-to-ground rockets and or missiles. Bombers can get around most missile defense systems.

yes do to poor lack of support by Spain

wrong..

Portugal does not have nuclear warheads, but he can certainly produce them if needed. It as Already enrich uranium in some of the territory each is a plus (USA much enrich there own first).

The quantity is uncertain but probably theres enough to produce 50 to 60 nukes. but of course being a founder of the NATO they wont produce them for the world peace....but of course if something happens that threatens national security,they will produce some so they can protect themselfs
