Nagasaki atomic bombing

That first hydrogen bomb created a force almost seven hundred times greater than that of the Nagasaki atomic bomb. And it created for the first time extensive, deadly fallout that irradiated some of the islanders in its path.

Yamazaki, Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (Quarterly Report, 1 January 1950-31 March 1950, p. 9, subject residual radioactivity investigation by William Menker and Leon Levinthal, Tracer Laboratory chemists, for ten days beginning the first week of March. Their investigation was centered in the Nishiyama Valley and the reservoir, which served as a catch basin for rain-washed fission products. 

For days and weeks after the explosion, measurements were taken of residual radiation from neutrons and gamma rays in the area close to the hypocenter and of the fallout from fission fragments in more distant areas (E. T. Arakawa, Radiation Dosimetry in Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Survivors, New England Journal of Medicine 263 (i960) 488-93). Persistent fallout from fission products contributed additional irradiation in a few locations where there...

World War II was ultimately a contest between economies, and victories were a direct result of effective resource mobilization. The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 released a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation the development of that weapon...

The potential of nuclear fission was first realized in the atomic bomb. In 1945, the United States dropped two bombs of unprecedented power, one on Hiroshima and the other on Nagasaki, Japan. Both were fission weapons.

A significant body of data defines the relationship between radiation dose and cancer incidence. This dataset is primarily from a study of the atomic bomb survivors from Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan but also includes data from animal studies and other sources of information. While additional data are continuously collected and... 

A great deal was learned from the atomic bomb survivors. The US military dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan on 6 August 1945 and a second on Nagasaki, Japan, three days later. The bombs used two different types of radioactive material, 235U in the first bomb and 239Pu in the second. It is estimated that...

II. On August 6, 1945, an atomic bomb (nicknamed as Little Boy ) was dropped by an American B-29 bomber (Enola Gay) over Hiroshima, Japan instantly killing more than 70000 people. On August 9, 1945, the USA dropped a second atomic bomb (nicknamed Fat Man ) killing some 40000 people in Nagasaki, Japan. Because of this large-scale devastation, such nuclear explosive devices have never again been used in a war. 

Toward the end of WWII, a so-called atomic bomb (see Vol l,p A499-L) was developed in the US and used against two Japanese cities(Hiroshima Nagasaki, Aug 1945), killing thousands of civilians and probably some soldiers. Many more civilians were injured and still more were invalided due to radiation. The use of these atomic bombs resulted in the end of the war with Japan and thereby saved the lives of numerous American personnel...
