Nuclear Weapons

No nuclear weapons have been used since World War 2. There were testings done by Russia and possibly other countries but they were never used against other nations.

"Blast from the Past" (1999). Stars Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek, Dave Foley.

Actual work was begun in the US in 1942 and it was finished in 1945, therefor about 3 years.

To assemble the early bombs from a kit in the field took about 3 days with an assembly crew of 40 to 50 men working around the clock.

It isn't happening.The only two bombs that have been used were the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs. Many others have been manafactured, but only two have been used other than in tests.

In the test bomb, the material was plutonium. Plutonium was also used in one of the bombs dropped on Japan, Fat Man. Little Boy, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, was made of uranium.

Nevada test site

Correction, Eniwetok atoll in the pacific on the island of Eugelab in 1952. Yield was 10 Megatons and it entirely destroyed the island. Test shot Ivy Mike. Device was 80 foot tall, 20 foot diameter, 2 foot thick steel cylinder containing triple nested thermosbottles to keep cold a liquid mixture of Deuterium/Tritium fusion fuel. Also vaporized in the explosion was a cryogenic liquid Hydrogen plant that supplied liquid Hydrogen that was pumped through one of the nested thermosbottles to keep the Deuterium/Tritium mixture liquid.

The US.

The USSR stole our plans to make their first bombs.

NO. Afghanistan does not have nuclear weapons, nor did it have nuclear weapons at any time, nor has it been accused by other countries of having nuclear weapons. Afghanistan is also a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, for what that's worth.

They got it in 2003, the jewel of bush's crown

According to a document* released by the NSA, the US secretly stored nuclear weapons during the Marcos dictatorship.

Opinion: Officially, the Philippines prohibits nuclear weapons on it territories, but it won't cause much of a scandal if it was discovered that the US has been carrying nuclear weapons during their visits. The Filipino people has a favorable view towards the US military.

A country termed to "bear weapons" essentially means that it has the capability of using them and has them available for use.

None at all. The only nuclear war ever lasted 3 days and it brought WW2 to a quick end.

The United States during World War 2.

The development is known as the Manhattan Project

Depends on how heavy the war head is and where its detonated (how high/on the ground etc). The actual blast of a 25 megaton war head would be around 7 miles. Theres also the thermal radiation, nuclear fallout and other things to consider in terms of long term damage

A nuclear weapon is used to prevent being threatened by other nuclear countries. Say, for example, France got rid of all of it's nuclear weapons, tiny countries that had a nuclear weapon would be able to bully them into accepting bad deals or presurring them into not reacting when things happen. Most countries in the world would probably like to dispose of their nuclear weapons but they can not due to the fact of little countries with problems that will keep them would be able to threaten them and hold the world by it's throat.

As part of the agreement between the United States and the former Soviet Union that ended the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States agreed that it would not invade Cuba so long as Nuclear Weapons of any type were not deployed there. President Kennedy went further to quietly remove older missiles aimed at Russia from Turkey several months after the crisis was resolved as another concession. Privately it was seen as a weakness on Kennedy's part to remove those missiles, since the U.S. had the Soviet Union outgunned on all nuclear weapons fronts.

Russia continues to honor that agreement, and Cuba hasn't been willing to test U.S. resolve since. In essence, the placement of nuclear weapons of any type in Cuba is an intolerable situation for the U.S. that cannot go without severe response since there would be little, if any, warning if a missile were launched. Flight time for a missile from Cuba to the U.S. coast is just a few minutes.

The entire event spurred the Soviets to new heights of Nuclear Weapons production. They were essentially forced to back down in 1962 because they were overwhelmingly outnumbered by U.S. ICBM's and other weapons in the Nuclear Triad. The Soviet leadership resolved that they would never again be in that position again, and ultimately achieved nuclear weapons parity with the U.S. and NATO.

The New World. (Western Hemisphere)

Israel, America, Russia, China... that's all i can think of on the top of my head.

Others that are "internationally allowed" to have nuclear weapons (approved by IAEA) would be France, and England, that I know of. I do not believe Israel is on that list.

never

I don't know the full list but it consists of countries such as Russia, the United States of America, North Korea, France, United Kingdom, China etc... I believe Russia has the most at approximately 2,200 nuclear bombs.

yes

In the US it was originally the AEC, now it is the DOE.
