Nuclear Weapons

The United States does not give or sell nuclear weapons to any country. The United States has stationed nuclear weapons on the territory of many countries, but always retained full control of them.

A fire bomb is a conventional incendiary bomb: magnesium, napalm, etc.

A nuclear bomb uses fission and/or fusion and is mostly a blast effect weapon.

There are three main methods a nuclear bomb can destroy life. These three methods have major differences that set them apart in terms of the speed and extent of their effects.

1. The explosion

The most obvious way a nuclear bomb can kill is by the explosion it creates. This explosion and the related shockwave releases an incredible amount of energy, killing any life within range almost instantly, and destroying human infrastructure, potentially killing large populations rapidly. Although the initial explosion causes significant damage to a large area, the next two methods of killing cause even more widespread damage.

2. The radiation

The next method of nuclear destruction is the radiation released by the nuclear bomb. This radiation can kill most living creatures in a matter of days, and the radiation affects a larger area than the initial explosion. The radiation can persist for years and still be deadly. In addition, strong pulses of electromagnetic radiation released by the nuclear explosion can disable many electrical circuits, causing widespread blackouts and bringing entire countries to a standstill.

3. Nuclear Winter

Nuclear winter is caused by extreme atmospheric changes following a nuclear explosion. During a nuclear winter, dust and debris becomes so thick in the upper atmosphere that light from the sun cannot reach earth's surface. Without sunlight, plant life will slowly begin to die, causing a collapse in most food chains on the planet. The lack of sunlight would also plunge the planet into an ice age, which would kill off plants and animals who are unable to adapt to the sudden drop in temperature. This method kills the slowest, but has the potential to cause a mass extinction of most species on the planet. It is often an unintended side effect of nuclear weapons, because it affects the entire planet, including the country that launched the attack.

Bikini atoll - Operation Crossroads, 2 shots.

The word "nuke" can mean a nuclear power plant or a nuclear weapon.

As of January 2013, there are 437 nuclear power plants in operation in the world.

Because countries with nuclear weapons are secretive about how many they have, the exact number of nuclear weapons is not known. The Federation of American Scientists estimates there are more than 17,000 nuclear warheads in the world as of 2012.

mad cow desease some one made a burger out of a cow and be came a zombie and it spreaded

you need to get 5 tactical nukes

Yes if they are sheltered from the initial extreme temperatures which would toast them. The remaining effects due to radiation are within the roach (species) toleration although individual roaches may die. That's how evolution works.

Arms race

First, make a wall of wood

then, cut a hole on the top of it

after that put rubidium in the bottom

and then add thermite to it.

then finally add metal to the top of the rubidium

put sparks on the metal then you are done

Realist

July 28, 1957, Over the Atlantic Ocean - A C-124 transport aircraft that was having mechanical problems jettisoned two nuclear weapons without their fissile cores off the east coast of the United States.

That is thefirst event in the list below.

there are many harmful causes of nuclear weapons because whole hiroshima was destroyed of it

While many countries have exploded test weapons, only the United States has ever used Nuclear weapons against an adversary. Two bombs were dropped on two cities in Japan Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, to bring WWII to an end.

No, the hydrogen fusion bomb was not developed until 1952. The first nuclear weapons were developed and used in combat in 1945.

That is an aircraft designed to transport nuclear bomb safely to the area to be dropped. The first nuclear capable aircraft used in history was a B29 bomber named Enola Gay which was modified to carry the nuclear artifact.

Because the Americans wanted to wipe out Japan.

No. Nukes are nuclear weapons but they suppose to use nukes to protect the earth not to destroy the earth. Eventually, nukes are not the best idea to use against other countries. We all know that nukes can win war but you should not use them.

USA

Soviet Union

France

UK

China

India

Pakistan

North Korea

Only 2 in war though by USA, all others in tests.

The United States of America

Leslie Groves was military commander, Robert Oppenheimer was scientific director.

They're very destructive and last for a long time,

In other words, once you've blown up a nuclear bomb somewhere, it will still be dangerous after the initial explosion has taken place. When a nuclear bomb is used there would be nuclear radiation that would still be present where the bomb hit for quite a while
