Atomic Bomb Testing Necessary Essay

Was atomic bomb testing even necessary after World War II? When the United States of America developed the first atomic bomb in July 1945, they had to test it. After testing the bombs, the United States bombed Japan. Just after that ended World War II, the United States of America decided to continue developing and testing the atomic bombs. They chose to test the bombs in the Pacific but before engaging in putting the atomic bombs to test, the American government asked for permission from the leaders in the Pacific. All of them authorized the United States' testing.

While exploding, the atomic bomb releases big amounts of radiation, and radiation can kill a grown man. It also can affect the fish by making it radioactive, which means that humans cannot eat them, which affects human beings by taking away one of their limited food sources in the Pacific. Still, the radiation also did good things. For example, it drove humans away, which left the coral reefs free to drive without distribution. The atomic bomb testing in the Pacific was necessary. Here are three reasons for that, so that the United States will be prepared for future war, so they were able to improve the bombs, and help the United States of America learn more about atomic bombs.

In 1951, the U.S. developed the first thermonuclear bomb, which was called “George”. George was an experiment that was designed to prove the feasibility of a special design for the possibility of developing a hydrogen bomb. Then there was the boosted fission weapon “Item”. In a boosted fission weapon the rate of fission, which is already abundant, is intensified. Late, in 1952, “Ivy Mike” was developed and tested in Operation Ivy. Ivy Mike was the very first hydrogen bomb device ever made. However, this would not have been possible if there had been no atomic bomb testing in the
