		Nagasaki during World War II Urakami Tenshudo (Catholic Church in Nagasaki) destroyed by the atomic bomb, the dome of the church having toppled off.

	Nuclear weapon - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		By modern standards, the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 may perhaps be considered tactical weapons (with yields between 13 and 22 kilotons (54 to 92 TJ)), though they were not used in a tactical manner.
		Gravity bombs are designed to be dropped from planes, which requires that the weapon can withstand vibrations and changes in air temperature and pressure during the course of a flight.
		The next generation of weapons were still so big and heavy that they could only be carried by bombers such as the B-52 Stratofortress and V bombers, but by the mid-1950s smaller weapons had been developed that could be carried and deployed by simple fighter-bombers.

	INTRODUCTION
		At the center of the maelstrom was the atomic bomb exhibition planned, and later abandoned, by the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. In late 1993, the Nagasaki and Hiroshima atomic bomb museums consented to a request from the Smithsonian Institution for the loan of atomic bomb-related exhibits.
		The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not meant to eradicate the Japanese culture and people from the face of the earth.
		The atomic bombs were dropped after Japan's repeated refusals to sue for peace, Japan's continued atrocities perpetrated against prisoners-of-war and its intent to fight to the death to defend the home islands.

		After the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and the Russian entry into the war on August 9th, the Japanese surrendered on August 10th and the U.S. accepted their surrender on August 15th--the day the Russians were scheduled to enter the war against Japan.
		He concludes that the bomb was dropped in 1945 to "shorten the war, and in that they succeeded." For McGeorge Bundy, as for many Americans since, there is little reason to question why the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan.
		We now know that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were two of a small number of Japanese cities sparred from this saturation bombing in order to determine the effects of an atomic bomb on a city.

		In such a weapon, the X-ray thermal radiation from a nuclear fission explosion is used to heat and compress a capsule of tritium, deuterium, or lithium, in which fusion occurs.
		Small, two-man portable tactical weapons (erroneously referred to as suitcase bombs), such as the Special Atomic Demolition Munition, have been developed, although the difficulty to combine sufficient yield with portability limits their military utility.
		With the invention of reliable rocketry during the 1960s, it became possible for nuclear weapons to be delivered anywhere in the world on a very short notice, and the two Cold War superpowers adopted a strategy of deterrence to maintain a shaky peace.
