Nuclear Weapons

England is part of the United Kingdom and it does have nuclear weapons and has had them for several decades.

fission and the fusion types

depends on how big the bombs are, if they were as big as Tsar Bomba (Soviet bomb 60MT) it would take about from 15-25

no you retard it would take about 15-25 to blow the usa NT the us

it would take 10 a-bombs to kill every living thing (cuz of the radiation)

That depends on what you're referring to: The fireball radius (the nuclear explosion itself), the total anhiliation range radius, and etc.

For example, the bomb launched on Hiroshima had a fireball of several hundred feet in radius, a 1km total destruction range radius, and severe damage for miles.

For firepower bombs (nuclear bombs made for power show & not effectiveness)

The Tsar bomba of USSR had 50~55 megatons of TNT firepower, a fireball with 1km+ radius, total destruction for miles, and created a sound shockwave that could be heard in Norway/Other far Northern European areas.

Modern nuclear weapons don't have a single blast radius; the U.S. developed M.I.R.V.s (cluster nuclear bombs) that spread apart to create a shotgun blast of multiple nuclear explosions.

Armament: Six .50-cal. machine guns and ten 5 in. rockets or 2,000 lbs. of bombs.

The U.S., at its peak state, had close to 32500 nuclear weapons (about the year 1965). They now have roughly 10000.

They are taken to a plant that manufactures nuclear weapons (in the U.S. the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, Texas) where they are carefully dismantled and those parts whose materials can be reused to make new nuclear weapons are recycled. The chemical explosives are usually burned to safely dispose of them.

d Two Nuclear Bombs, one on Hiroshima, the other on Nagasaki

It hasn't sad to say. As tech advances so do the weapons, though continueing manufacture in some areas is quieter and less clear to the observer. The number of nukes has been reduced... but not by all. China builds her arsenal today without much concern for the western powers.

For the United States military, the final authority to direct the use of nuclear weapons is the President of the United States. This also requires the approval of an administrative official who has been approved by Congress.

nukes

Although Canada is not known to have any nukes at the moment, it is widely recognized as having the ability to make them. Canada could be a nuclear power within 120 days of deciding to become one, or perhaps in as little as 90 days.

Despite the fact that Canada has greater potential for hydro-electric power than any other nation, it chose to develop its nuclear power potential, by means of a program it started at Chalk River during WW2. Canada's Candu reactor, unlike other reactors, uses unenriched uranium. It does a good job making electricity, but it is also an excellent plutonium factory.


The reason Canada vigorously pursued this technology is due America's territorial designs on Canada. War Plan Red was America's invasion plan, which was not executed due to the start of the second world war. Once the U.S. learned of Canada's acquisition of nuclear technology, War Plan Red was scrapped. The U.S. has not floated the idea of invading Canada since 1946, because it fears nuclear retaliation.

The use of a nuclear weapon on a country would be considered devestating, dependant on the payload and method of delivery of the nuclear device. It can destroy cities, and make the land infertile for many years afterwards please look towards Nagasaki and Hiroshima for more information.

The "effect" of nuclear weapons on a country would depend on what your perspective is: there is something called MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) of which the cold war is an example, where the development of a nuclear arsenal by one country (USSR) was profilgate in the development of a nuclear arsenal in another country (USA) this happened in many countries.

Currently the body which is responsible for monitoring nuclear arsenals is called the IAEA (Internationl Atomic Energy Agency)

Prypriat is the soviet city that is now deserted due to the chernobyl disaster.Iit was the city built to house the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear plant so was in very close proximity to the disaster

The United States uses more nuclear power than any other country, around 20 percent of the power in the United States is created via nuclear power. Other countries that use nuclear power include France, Russia, and Japan. These countries all create more energy via nuclear power percentage wise, however none create nearly as many total Kilowatt hours as the United States.

The pacific proving grounds encompassed both Bikini and Eniwetok atolls, rings of multiple coral islands surrounding a central lagoon. atolls develop from slowly subsiding dead volcanos around which coral reefs grow in rings, eventually forming islands.

thes US have over 2500 nucular war heads . Though the british goverment will not comment there are around 3000.

It was called "massive retaliation."

There is no general category for "defensive nuclear weapons" although they were once envisioned as part of an air-defense against massed bombers. The 3 letter acronym for a "defense against nuclear missiles" is ABM, which stands for Anti-Ballistic Missile defense.

(There is a related acronym from the Cold War, MAD, for Mutual Assured Destruction, a policy to preclude a first strike in nuclear war by assuring the survival of retaliatory weapons.)

Stars like our sun and hydrogen bombs produce energy through nuclear fusion.
