Nuclear waste definition and examples. The first and only nuclear weapons used in warfare were fission bombs with yields of 13 and 22 kilotons of tnt detonated over the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki in 1945. The science of atomic radiation atomic change and nuclear fission was developed from 1895 to 1945 much of it in the last six of those years. Development of nuclear weapons was the motivation behind early research into nuclear fission which the manhattan project during world war ii september 1 1939 september 2 1945 carried out most of the early scientific work on fission chain reactions culminating in the three events involving fission bombs that occurred during the war.

Hiroshima after atomic bombing. Truly terrifying to learn that the world literally fell into the discovery of nuclear fission but quickly realized its deadly potential. Over 1939 45 most development was focused on the atomic bomb.

For comparison the largest conventional bomb in the us arsenal has a yield of 11 tons of tnt less than a thousandth the size of the hiroshima and nagasaki bombs. The discovery came at a time when the world was at war casting the united states in a race with the nazis that would lead to the building and dropping of the atomic bomb.
