Nuclear Weapons

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.

They had to do many things

• nuclear deterrence - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will attack you back with nuclear weapons
• mutual assured destruction - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will totally destroy you with nuclear weapons and if I attack you with nuclear weapons then you will totally destroy me with nuclear weapons - thus any nuclear attack by either party will result in the certain destruction of both parties

Yes and they pretty much are because of scarcity of uranium anyways but we will be way beyond nuclear destructive power soon- lazers are becoming more and more effective and we can even create a black hole artificially that could swallow the Earth. Scientists are working on weapons that don't rely on a reaction that is finite from an element. Imagine a weapon like a nuke where the reaction NEVER ends. . . . .

The Wampanoag people utilized a variety of traditional weapons for hunting and warfare, including bows and arrows, spears, and clubs. They crafted these weapons from natural materials like wood, stone, and bone, ensuring they were effective for their needs. Additionally, they often employed tools like tomahawks for both combat and daily tasks. The design and use of these weapons were integral to their survival and way of life.

An airburst is the explosion of a bomb through the air rather than on the ground.

The main one has been the terror of the cold war and all the side effects from that terror.

Nuclear Secrets - 2007 Vanunu and the Bomb 1-4 is rated/received certificates of:

Trinity - nuclear test - happened on 1945-07-16.

To make a nuclear bomb, you need the fissionable material such as a Plutonium239 isotope, an explosive to start the nuclear chain reaction, a detonator, and a pusher.

H-Bomb Ferguson died in 2006.

As a very rough guide you had the pike, the matchlock musket, the sword and the cannon.

In World War II, many pilots painted special names on the nose of their fighters and bombers. These were often the names of the loved ones of the pilot. For example, fighter pilot Chuck Yeager named his fighter for his wife Glennis, painting the name "Glamorous Glennis" on the side of his fighter.

Paul Tibbets was a pilot in 1945, and he painted the name of his mother, "Enola Gay" Tibbets, on the nose of his B-29 bomber. He flew the bomber "Enola Gay" on August 6, 1945, when he dropped the first nuclear bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan.
