Nuclear+Arms

A nuclear weapon is also known as an explosive device. These are made up of fission and fussion combinations, a nuclear weapon that wieghs abnout a thousand kilograms can cause an explotion of more then a billion kilograms of conventional high explosives, which is amazing because it's pretty close to like a million times bigger explotion then the size of the actual bomb! Since the creation of the nuclear bomb only two of them have been set off in a way that could cause a war. Since Hiroshima and Nagasaki the only nuclear bombs that have been dropped are once that are for testing in remote areas like deserts. The only countries that do this are the United States and the Soviet Union. There are other countries that are believed to be using nuclear weapons for testing to but it cant be proved because no one has caught them. There are two types of nuclear weapons, one goes through something called explosive energy which is also known as an atomic bomb. When the United states first came out with the atomic bomb there was a worry that there discovery might not even work, all of the different parts from the nuclear missels had been tested seperatly and not all in one so no one new for sure if the bomb would actually go off or if it would just be a huge dud.In addition to the United States and the Soviet Union other nations were slowly starting to develope a small stock pile of nuclear arms just incase they were needed. After the cold war was over all the countries slowed down on there nuclear weapons spending. They decided that it wasnt needed any more and there wasnt as much as a threat any more and they quit developing systems. Although they cut down most countries to this day still have nuclear weapons in stock to the thousands. After all of the countries quit spending all of thier money on the war they started to rebuild the environment that they had destroyed, to this day they are still clean up sites. Nuclear weapons have been a problem ever since they have existed and can only be deployed by certain people, like the head government. When the armies dont want there nuclear weapons to be found out what they do it hide them in a locations that would be very hard to locate, but not in a building or something like that. Instead these people hide there nuclear weapons in trains and submarines. This makes it a lot harded for the enemy to find the weapons because they would always be constantly moving around.



What is a Nuclear weapon?

=
A Nuclear Weapon is an explosive device whose destructive potential derives from the release of energy that accompanies the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei. =====  When was the first Nuclear Bomb Discovered and used? The first nuclear weapon was deployed and made in August 6 1945, it was called the little boy and it was dropped on Hiroshima causing mass destruction 

Who Was the first country who discovered the atomic bomb? The country to drop the first atomic bomb was the United States. It was a uranium gun type device and it was called Little Boy( as i mentioned above). It just so happens that the country to deploy the second atomic bomb ever was also of course our nighboring country the United States.

Were did the bombing take palce - both bombing occurances took place in different locations of Japan causing total destruction, both deployed by the United States in a offensive manuver.

Why - Nuclear Bombs are set off for only one reason, There a weapon of mass destruction. The only difference when the United States deployed them though is that it was for a offencive purpose to protect there country. When they dropped the bombs "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" both had the injury ratio of about 120000 at a time. Some were only wounded and survived but not long after the ratiation sickness got them anyways so there was really no hope. To this day around the world there has been about 2000 bomb tests in isolated areas of the world.
