Is there any evidence that a uranium-based “atom bomb” was ever dropped onto Nagasaki, Japan?
Absolutely not. While many historians and journalists made this claim in the late 40’s and early 50’s, everyone now agrees that no such bomb ever exploded over Nagasaki. Yet there are some who still stubbornly cling to this supposed “fact.” • 3. What are the materials needed to make an “atom bomb?” Uranium-238 and plutonium-239. • 4. Aren’t these materials radioactive? Highly so. Anybody who attempts to use these materials is endangering his/her life. • 5. Is it likely that nuclear scientists in the 40’s would be handling uranium and plutonium? This would be highly unlikely. Very few people felt so threatened by the Japanese to be willing to risk their lives on a theoretical chance of a superbomb that could end a far-away war a little sooner. • 6. Aren’t there witnesses to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima? The only “witnesses” that could possibly survived this supposed explosion would have been blinded by the intense flash of light, so their testimony is quite unreliable and contradictory.
