The radiation comes from the material used.
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.
megan wrights big bombs
No bombs were actually used during the Cold War. That was why it was not a hot war.
Nuclear, plane, land, and sea bombs.
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.
yes there is extreme amounts of gamma radiation in in nuclear bombs
The same nuclear radiation is released by both fission (atomic) and fusion (hydrogen) bombs. Hydrogen bombs are larger, and produce more.
radiation
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.
burns it a lot
it made it greener with radiation...
There were no hydrogen bombs (fusion bombs) detonated during WWII.
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.
Making more bombs or bigger bombs.
because of the force and radiation
about 65,000
Radiation will always harm people no matter where they are, as it causes cancer.
