The world's first nuclear explosion happened at the training ground in Los Alamos
July 16, 1945
July 16, 1945 in the US, at a training ground near Los Alamos (another name - Alamogordo, New Mexico), a ground explosion of the world's first nuclear device was made. The flash from it was visible at a distance of 290 km, and the sound was heard at a distance of up to 160 km.
In the process of preparing a nuclear test, a 30-meter tower was built at the test site. On July 12, the assembly of a uranium-plutonium atomic charge, whose power was 20-22 kilotons, began. Two days later, the almost finished nuclear device (without detonators) was lifted to the top of the tower. On the night of July 15, detonators were installed on it. And on July 16 at 05:29:45 the installation was undermined.
In August 1945, two powerful atomic bombs were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As a result of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, more than 140 thousand people were killed and wounded, in Nagasaki - about 75 thousand. The cities themselves have turned into ashes. For the first time in the history of mankind, nuclear weapons were used.
Soon nuclear weapons were created in the USSR by a group of physicists headed by Academician Igor Kurchatov.
