What countries have or have use Dirty bombs?
so called "dirty bombs" cannot be built and stockpiled like nuclear weapons can. they must be assembled shortly before use. a "dirty bomb" is simply a conventional bomb wrapped in radioactive waste, the detonation of the conventional bomb scatters the radioactive waste thus making it "dirty". the problem with making a "dirty bomb" is that radiation from the radioactive waste will almost certainly kill anyone involved in the assembly of the bomb. countries are very unlikely to seriously consider making such bombs, only terrorist groups are likely to attempt it.
What weapons were used in the blitz?
megan wrights big bombs
What nuclear bombs were used in the Cold War?
No bombs were actually used during the Cold War. That was why it was not a hot war.
What bombs were used in World War 2 by the us?
Nuclear, plane, land, and sea bombs.
How many bombs were used used in world war 2?
It is estimated that a total of 2.77054 Megatons of bombs were dropped in WW2 and about 48% were done alone by the RAF.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs produce gamma radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release high-energy photons. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the explosion of nuclear devices.
What radiation do atomic bombs give of?
The radiation levels of atomic bombs vary according to the amount of radioactive elements put into the bombs or missiles and if they are actually used. Once the radioactive matter is inside the bomb housing the radiation levels are negligible but once one of the nuclear bombs is used then the variables come into play. (see related link below to see how complex it is) Consider this: the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 are 1/10th the killing power of today's nuclear missiles. If one modern nuclear missile were to be used today the bomb would be able to kill about a third of the world with the initial bomb blast and radiation fallout. The radiation level after Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not really measured until after the US occupied Japan. The Japanese leaders did not really understand the radiation fallout and poisonous danger and they did not use radiation detectors right after the blast. It is rumored the radiation levels were 100 times today's acceptable levels of radiation.
What is the Difference in radiation - atomic vs hydrogen bombs?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.
What is the energy transfer for Atomic Bombs?
radiation
How much radiation do atomic bombs give off?
Atomic bombs release various forms of radiation, including gamma rays, neutrons, and initial infrared radiation. The amount of radiation depends on the type and yield of the bomb. Immediate exposure to high levels of radiation can cause severe radiation sickness, burns, and even death.
Did radiation reach the us after the hydrogen bomb in ww11?
There were no hydrogen bombs (fusion bombs) detonated during WWII.
How did atomic bombs affect your planet?
it made it greener with radiation...
What is a nuclear buildup?
Making more bombs or bigger bombs.
Did the us know about radiation when they the dropped the bombs on japan?
The US did know about radiation when they dropped the bombs on japan it was a risk they were willing to take to save ournation from going into war with them. hope this helped you.
Why do nuclear bombs cause mass destruction?
because of the force and radiation
How many people died from radiation sickness from the atomic bombs?
about 65,000
Would radiation harm the people testing underwater bombs?
Radiation will always harm people no matter where they are, as it causes cancer.
