Can someone explain to me how Hiroshima can be nuked yet 2 million+ people can live there?I thought when nukes go off that area is uninhabitable essentially forever.Meanwhile people can't live near Chernobyl.I don't understand.
nukes aren't the same as dirty bombs their purpose is to make a really big explosion not spread radioactive material

>>521052997oh. i guess. i was hoping for some schizo shit but okay.
>>521052888because Nukes are fake and gay and because its fake and gay jews keep adding more retarded shit to the lore.
>>521052888Air burst, not surface blast. Most of the radiation went back into space. If it hit the ground before detonating all the soil would be contaminated.
>>521053090its like the van-Allen radiation belt>radiation damage only applies when ((they)) decide it does.
>>521052888The city they refined the uranium in is 100x more radioactive than Hiroshima and no one bats an eye
>>521052888Bro it was almost 100 years ago and they've done plenty to decontaminate the area over the decades after it happened.
>>521052888>I thought when nukes go off that area is uninhabitable essentially forever.>i thoughtand yet you were wrong. curios. does that mean you’re retarded that you think things for no reason and also believe in them
>>521052888the atomic bombs dropped were relatively small and primitive compared to how insane the hydrogen bomb was. I really sometimes wonder if the whole project was just a flex by Teller after he got rid of that commie Oppenheimer. But the reality is that nukes don't really cause radioactive pollution because all the fissile material burns up. Yes there is some radiation here and there but the worst is the gamma rays because they hit everything from your electronics and wiring to your DNA. Radiation is a bigger problem with atomic power plants like Chernobyl and Fukushima.
>>521053703I opened the thread to post pretty much this.However, I would say that nuclear bombs generally only burn up a small amount of their fissile material. I think Little Boy was only like 1% efficient at converting its uranium to energy. Later designs were more efficient but you'd still only get 20% efficiency. The reason Hiroshima wasn't more contaminated was because most of the fissile material was blasted high into the atmosphere and dispersed over a huge area. If the bomb had exploded at ground level the city would have been rendered uninhabitable for a couple of years at least.>>521052888The explosion being that powerful has the effect of dispersing unused fissile material over a huge area. So all of Japan (and probably quite a large portion of that hemisphere) got a little radioactive rather than Hiroshima becoming very radioactive. Also, Little Boy was orders of magnitude less powerful than later hydrogen bombs.At Chernobyl there was much more radioactive material - several hundred tons rather than the 64kg used in Little Boy. Only a small amount of it was ejected, but it was spread by the fire, in the smoke and ash which settled fairly quickly, rather than being blasted high into the atmosphere and being dispersed across entire continents.

Clean Clean American Coal
>>521052888People do tourist visits in Chernobyl though. It's not that bad just that there's little reason for people to actually move there when previous city was there for the plant which went boom.If you want actual scary shit then google the Bhopal disaster. Nukes get a lot of attention because they are so highly militarized and how power in geopolitics is highly politicized due to the big giants being fossil fuel warlords etc.
