History of Nuclear Weapons

History of Nuclear Weapons
Nuclear weapons are devices that possess enormous destructive potential that uses energy derived from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reactions. Beginning with the scientific breakthroughs of the 1930s, which made possible its development, by continuing the nuclear arms race and nuclear testing of the Cold War, and finally, to the issues of proliferation and possible use of terrorism at the beginning of the century XXI.1

A nuclear weapon is a high explosive uses of nuclear energy, this includes the shuttle vector, such as intercontinental ballistic missiles, ballistic missiles and submarine-launched part of the infrastructure involved in its management and operation.
The first nuclear explosion took place in the town of Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States on July 16, 1945, as part of Project Manhattan.1 experimental Shortly after two atomic bombs were detonated on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. 2 Some authors point out that nuclear bombs would not have been the main reason for the Japanese surrender and that the U.S. would have had other purposes, such as displaying the USSR's new weapon with which counted for the postwar period began. Anyway, had a great impact on the Japanese people and probably hastened his unconditional surrender, thus ending the Second World War in the Pacific Theater. This event kicked off what has been called "the nuclear age."
Nuclear bombs are among the most powerful weapons of destruction, so they are commonly included within the classification ABQ. Its scope reaches tens or hundreds of miles from the point of detonation. Added to this, nuclear weapons associated damage occurs as radioactive contamination and nuclear winter.
