Nuclear Bomb - First Hydrogen Bomb test
Hydrogen Bomb
On November 1, 1952, the United States exploded the first hydrogen bomb. On that day the hydrogen bomb’s awesome power to destroy, truly shook the world.
The first hydrogen bomb was prepared by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Defense Department aboard a naval ship heading toward the small Island of Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands. It was at this island in the South Pacific United States that the explosive was successfully tested. The bomb was nicknamed Mike and it was under the observation of the floor groups performing the test; the army, navy, Air Force and the scientific contingent.
The First Hydrogen Bomb Explosion
On the day of the hydrogen bomb explosion, from helicopters the observers could clearly see that the Eniwetok Island was completely flattened. There was nothing left except what seemed to be a deep crater and the dark blue water. The H-bomb produced a fireball more than 3 miles across.
The tremendous upsurge of air from the hydrogen bomb explosion rapidly formed an enormous mushroom shaped cloud. Nothing of this height and width had ever been witnessed before. Initially after the detonation, the height of the cloud was approximately 40,000 feet. Some 10 minutes later, the cloud approached its maximum. The mushroom portion of the deadly radioactive air mass had pushed up to around 10 miles and spread out along the base of the stratosphere to a width of about 100 miles. The stem itself had taken upward to a height of about 25 miles. With this mushroom cloud, mankind entered the hydrogen bomb age.
The bomb, which created a crater approximately a mile in diameter, was hundreds of times more destructive than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Everything within the radius of 3 miles was completely annihilated. Severe to moderate damage was recorded after 7 miles. The lateral destructive effects were the greatest achieved by a single explosive device. Light damage extended its horrors to 10 miles.
Hydrogen Bomb Information
Hydrogen bombs are a type of nuclear weapon. They are complicated, sophisticated and tremendously powerful. The bombs force has been compared to millions of tons of TNT. They’re capable of destroying anything within a 150 square mile area and the radioactive fallout can cover up to 800 square miles.
The hydrogen bomb got its name because thermonuclear explosive devices used hydrogen isotopes aka; deuterium-tritium fusion. It is through nuclear fusion reactions that much of the H-Bomb’s energy is produced. The synthesis or joining together of lighter elements into heavier elements allows the H-Bomb to function. Because exceptionally high temperatures are necessary in order to instigate a fusion response, the hydrogen bomb is also referred to as a thermonuclear bomb.
At the center of the bomb lies an atomic bomb. This is surrounded by a layer of lithium deuteride. Around that layer is a substantial outer layer usually make of fissionable matter that holds the contents together in order to create an optimal detonation. The bomb releases energy by splitting heavy atoms of either uranium-235 or plutonium-239 and striking them with neutrons. Then, the breakdown of one atom permits more neutrons to be free until the entire mass is consumed.
The explosion of a hydrogen bomb creates an extremely hot zone near its center. Because of this high temperature, nearly all of the matter present is vaporized to form a gas at extremely high pressure. This contains most of the energy that is released and this is responsible for the major part of the destructive and mechanical effects of a nuclear explosion. The specific effects of the shock wave transmission vary depending on whether the rupture is in the air, underwater, or underground.
The United States is among the six countries in the world known to own the weapon. The United Kingdom, Russia, France, People’s Republic of China and India also have possession of the bomb.
