World War Ii Bomb Was Dropped

The atomic bomb is a powerful, explosive nuclear
weapon. It is fueled by the fission of the nuclei
of specific amounts of plutonium or uranium, in a
chain reaction. The strength of the explosion
created by one of these bombs is equal to the
strength of an explosion created by thousands of
tons of TNT. To detonate one of these bombs,
enough mass of plutonium or uranium must be
provided to reach what is known as "critical mass.
" Critical mass is the mass at which the nuclear
reactions going on in...
