The arrival of nuclear weapons has left a very deep shadow on the world. So far, a lot of people are talking about nuclear anomalies. But for a country, if it can have such a killer tool, it will be of great strategic significance. For this reason, although the development of nuclear weapons by most countries in the world is restricted, there are still many countries that develop nuclear weapons in clandestine and reckless ways. For example, Iran, which is sanctioned by the United States and other Western countries. Currently, the only countries in the world that can legally possess nuclear weapons are the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. The United States was the first country to develop nuclear weapons and use them in war. At the same time, a test explosion conducted by the US military at the bottom of the sea caused her great difficulties.
In fact, the first country to develop nuclear weapons was Germany. But then failed for various reasons, giving the United States the opportunity to overtake in corners. As the first country to use nuclear weapons in war, the two atomic bombs of the United States left a deep impression on Japan and the world. Recognizing the power of nuclear weapons, the United States continues to accelerate its own research and development process while calling for a ban on the development of nuclear weapons by other countries. He conducted several explosion tests. One of the test explosions was conducted at sea to test the engagement capabilities of the U.S. fleet. Survived a nuclear strike.
According to the plan drawn up by the US military, they detonated a nuclear bomb at sea. After the explosion, 2 million tons of seawater soared into the sky, forming a huge column of water, and then the sea water fell in all directions. During the entire process, 20 American warships were sunk by water jets. After entering the seabed, the remaining 50 ships were intact. Therefore, the US military believes that the results of this test are still very satisfactory.
At first, the U.S. military thought that the test explosion was going well, but a few days later it turned out that it had caused a catastrophe. A few days later, as the U.S. military prepared to recover the ships used for test explosions, it was discovered that the radiation from the atomic bombing had not yet dissipated. Not only were these warships affected by radiation, but the seawater in the area was heavily polluted and even marine life was damaged. He was not spared and got into big trouble.
In the end, the U.S. military tried to wash away nuclear debris from warships with seawater, but with little success. In addition, because little was known about nuclear weapons at the time, the personnel involved in the cleanup were not wearing protective clothing and were therefore exposed to nuclear radiation. In subsequent research, the U.S. military gradually realized how destructive a nuclear weapon was after an explosion. As a result, the U.S. military now views nuclear weapons as strategic weapons that cannot be easily used in war.
