The bomb would have to have a big enough yield to cover the whole city and be detonated in a spot where the bomb could have a larger reach, such as the center of the city.It destroys a whole city by using an extremely powerful blast, usually measured in megatons (meaning one million tons of TNT). It would completely annihilate anything within the blast radius, and the closer objects would completely disintegrate. The cloud of radiation (that could cause cancer) will spread to a much larger area and contaminate it seriously, rendering habitation in that area impossible for at least two years.
One nuclear bomb has the capability to cause significant destruction to a city like New York, depending on the size and location of the blast. The extent of damage would also be influenced by factors such as the type of bomb, altitude of detonation, and prevailing weather conditions. The impact would likely be catastrophic, resulting in widespread devastation and loss of life.
The size of the area destroyed by a nuclear bomb depends on its yield. A small nuclear bomb with a yield of 1 kiloton could destroy buildings within a few city blocks, while a larger bomb with a yield of 1 megaton could impact several square miles. The damage would also vary based on the bomb's design, height of detonation, and local geography.
Nuclear weapons can be destroyed through a process called dismantlement, where the components of the weapon are taken apart and rendered inoperable. This can involve disassembly, removal of fissile material, and disposal of the radioactive components. The process is highly regulated and monitored to ensure safety and prevent proliferation.
The fallout area of a nuclear bomb is influenced by factors such as bomb size, altitude of detonation, and prevailing winds. In the case of a nuclear bomb hitting Chicago, the fallout area could potentially cover a wide radius depending on these factors, resulting in devastating consequences for both the city and surrounding areas. Evacuation and sheltering would be crucial for minimizing exposure to radiation.
The atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 had an explosive yield equivalent to approximately 15 kilotons of TNT. This explosion resulted in massive destruction and loss of life in the city.
It certainly can. peopls say that it can destroy a whole country
If you want to destroy a city and kill thousands of people, it is the quickest way of doing so.

A nuclear bomb can destroy a city and the surrounding area. Think if New York City was bomb with an atom bomb. 8 million plus people would be killed instantly and milions more would die from the fallout or burns or other injuries. Injuries would be in the millions too.
The first Japanese city to be attacked by a nuclear weapon is Hiroshima.
Catastrophic depletion is a whole group of something being completely removed. For example, something like what a nuclear bomb would do to a city.
The bomb had the power to destroy the city completly.
Its possible
Hiroshima, the second one was Nagasaki
Edward Teller proposed building a 10 gigaton fusion bomb. Such a bomb could easily destroy everything in any of one of the small eastern states (e.g. Rhode Island, Delaware, New Jersey, Vermont). A 5 to 10 megaton fusion bomb could destroy large cities like New York, Chicago, Oakland. Even the ~20 kiloton fission bombs of WW2 destroyed typical cities (except their outskirts) in Japan. So, yes.
It takes less than a minute.
