The history of the creation and development of nuclear weapons This conclusion was the impetus for the development of nuclear weapons. In 1896, the French physicist A. Becquerel discovered the phenomenon of radioactive radiation. It marked the beginning of the era of the study and use of nuclear energy. 1905 Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. A very small amount of matter is equivalent to a large amount of energy. 1938, as a result of experiments by German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, they manage to break a uranium atom into two approximately equal parts by bombarding uranium with neutrons. British physicist Otto Robert Frisch explained how energy is released when the nucleus of an atom divides. In early 1939, the French physicist Joliot-Curie concluded that a chain reaction was possible, which would lead to an explosion of monstrous destructive power and that uranium could become an energy source, like an ordinary explosive.

On July 16, 1945, the world's first atomic bomb test, called Trinity, was carried out in New Mexico. On the morning of August 6, 1945, an American B-29 bomber dropped the Little Boy uranium atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The power of the explosion was, according to various estimates, from 13 to 18 kilotons of TNT. On August 9, 1945, the Fat Man plutonium atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. Its power was much greater and amounted to 15-22 kt. This is due to the more advanced design of the bomb. The successful test of the first Soviet atomic bomb was carried out at 7:00 on August 29, 1949 at the constructed test site in the Semipalatinsk region of the Kazakh SSR. Bomb testing showed that the new weapon was ready for combat use. The creation of this weapon marked the beginning of a new stage in the use of wars and military art.

Description of the slide:

A shock wave is an area of ​​sharp compression of air, propagating in all directions from the center of the explosion at supersonic speed. The shock wave is the main damaging factor in a nuclear explosion and about 50% of its energy is spent on its formation. The front boundary of the compressed air layer is called the front of the air shock wave. And it is characterized by the magnitude of excess pressure. As you know, overpressure is the difference between the maximum pressure in the front of an air wave and the normal atmospheric pressure in front of it. Overpressure is measured in Pascals (Pa).

Description of the slide:

Light radiation is a stream of radiant energy, including visible, ultraviolet and infrared rays. Its source is a luminous area formed by hot products of the explosion and hot air up to millions of degrees. Light radiation spreads almost instantly and, depending on the power of the nuclear explosion, the time of the fireball lasts 20-30 seconds. The light radiation of a nuclear explosion is very strong, it causes burns and temporary blindness. Depending on the severity of the lesion, burns are divided into four degrees: the first is redness, swelling and soreness of the skin; the second is the formation of bubbles; the third - necrosis of the skin and tissues; the fourth is charring of the skin.

19 slide

Description of the slide:

Penetrating radiation (ionizing radiation) is a stream of gamma rays and neutrons. It lasts for 10-15 seconds. Passing through living tissue, it causes its rapid destruction and death of a person from acute radiation sickness in the very near future after the explosion. In order to assess the effect of various types of ionizing radiation on a person (animal), two of their main characteristics must be taken into account: ionizing and penetrating abilities. Alpha radiation has a high ionizing but weak penetrating power. So, for example, even ordinary clothes protect a person from this type of radiation. However, getting alpha particles into the body with air, water and food is already very dangerous. Beta radiation is less ionizing than alpha radiation, but more penetrating. Here, for protection, you need to use any shelter. And finally, gamma and neutron radiation have a very high penetrating power. Alpha radiation is helium-4 nuclei and can be easily stopped with a sheet of paper. Beta radiation is a stream of electrons that an aluminum plate is enough to protect against. Gamma radiation has the ability to penetrate even denser materials.

20 slide

Description of the slide:

The damaging effect of penetrating radiation is characterized by the magnitude of the radiation dose, i.e., the amount of radioactive radiation energy absorbed by a unit mass of the irradiated medium. Distinguish: the exposure dose is measured in roentgens (R). characterizes the potential danger of exposure to ionizing radiation with a general and uniform exposure of the human body; the absorbed dose is measured in rads (rad). determines the effect of ionizing radiation on biological tissues of the body, having different atomic composition and density Depending on the dose of radiation, four degrees of radiation sickness are distinguished: total dose of radiation, rad degree of radiation sickness duration of the latent period 100-250 1 - mild 2-3 weeks (curable) 250-400 2 - average week (with active treatment, recovery after 1.5-2 months) 400-700 3 - severe for several hours (with a favorable outcome - recovery after 6-8 months) More than 700 4 - extremely severe no (lethal dose )

21 slide

Description of the slide:

Radioactive particles, falling from the cloud to the ground, form a zone of radioactive contamination, the so-called trace, which can extend for several hundred kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion. Radioactive contamination - contamination of the terrain, atmosphere, water and other objects with radioactive substances from the cloud of a nuclear explosion. Depending on the degree of infection and the danger of injuring people, the trace is divided into four zones: A - moderate (up to 400 rad.); B - strong (up to 1200 rad.); B - dangerous (up to 4000 rad.); G - extremely dangerous infection (up to 10,000 rad.).


Nuclear weapons A weapon whose destructive effect is based on the use of intranuclear energy released during a chain reaction of fission of heavy nuclei of some uranium and plutonium isotopes or during thermonuclear fusion reactions of nuclei of light hydrogen isotopes. Nuclear bomb explosion in Nagasaki (1945)


Depending on the type of nuclear charge, one can distinguish: thermonuclear weapons, the main energy release of which occurs during a thermonuclear reaction - the synthesis of heavy elements from lighter ones, and a nuclear charge is used as a fuse for a thermonuclear reaction; neutron weapon - a nuclear charge of low power, supplemented by a mechanism that ensures the release of most of the explosion energy in the form of a stream of fast neutrons; its main damaging factor is neutron radiation and induced radioactivity.


Soviet intelligence had information about the work on the creation of an atomic bomb in the United States, which came from atomic physicists who sympathized with the USSR, in particular Klaus Fuchs. This information was reported by Beria to Stalin. However, it is believed that a letter addressed to him in early 1943 by the Soviet physicist Flerov, who managed to explain the essence of the problem in a popular way, was of decisive importance. As a result, on February 11, 1943, the State Defense Committee adopted a resolution on the start of work on the creation of an atomic bomb. The general leadership was entrusted to the Deputy Chairman of the GKO, V. M. Molotov, who, in turn, appointed I. Kurchatov as the head of the atomic project (his appointment was signed on March 10). The information received through intelligence channels facilitated and accelerated the work of Soviet scientists.


On November 6, 1947, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, V. M. Molotov, made a statement regarding the secret of the atomic bomb, saying that "this secret has long ceased to exist." This statement meant that the Soviet Union had already discovered the secret of atomic weapons, and they had these weapons at their disposal. The scientific circles of the United States of America accepted this statement by V. M. Molotov as a bluff, believing that the Russians could master atomic weapons no earlier than 1952. US spy satellites have located the exact location of Russian tactical nuclear weapons in the Kaliningrad region, contradicting Moscow's claims that tactical weapons were transferred there.


The successful test of the first Soviet atomic bomb was carried out on August 29, 1949 at the constructed test site in the Semipalatinsk region of Kazakhstan. On September 25, 1949, the Pravda newspaper published a TASS report "in connection with the statement of US President Truman about an atomic explosion in the USSR":

At the center of a nuclear explosion, the temperature instantly rises to several million degrees, as a result of which the substance of the charge turns into a high-temperature plasma that emits X-rays. The pressure of gaseous products initially reaches several billion atmospheres. The sphere of incandescent gases of the luminous region, seeking to expand, compresses the adjacent layers of air, creates a sharp pressure drop at the boundary of the compressed layer and forms a shock wave that propagates from the center of the explosion in various directions. Since the density of the gases that make up the fireball is much lower than the density of the surrounding air, the ball rises rapidly. In this case, a mushroom-shaped cloud is formed, containing gases, water vapor, small particles of soil and a huge amount of radioactive explosion products. Upon reaching the maximum height, the cloud is transported over long distances under the action of air currents, dissipates, and radioactive products fall on

The damaging factors of a nuclear explosion. The shock wave of a nuclear explosion arises as a result of the expansion of a luminous hot mass of gases in the center of the explosion and is an area of ​​sharp air compression that propagates from the center of the explosion at supersonic speed. Its action lasts for several seconds. A shock wave travels a distance of 1 km in 2 s, 2 km in 5 s, 3 km in 8 s. are caused both by the action of excess pressure and its propelling action (velocity pressure), due to the movement of air in the wave. People and equipment located in open areas are affected mainly as a result of the propelling action of the shock wave, and large objects. etc.). In some cases, the severity of damage from indirect exposure may be greater than from

slide 11

The parameters of the shock wave are affected by the terrain, forests and vegetation. On slopes facing the explosion with a steepness of more than 10°, the pressure increases: the steeper the slope, the greater the pressure. On the reverse slopes of the hills, the opposite phenomenon takes place. In hollows, trenches and other earth-type structures located perpendicular to the direction of shock wave propagation, the effect is much less than in open areas. The pressure in the shock wave inside the forest is less than in open areas. This is due to the resistance of trees to air masses moving at high speed behind the front of the shock wave.

The light radiation of a nuclear explosion is visible, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, acting for several seconds. In humans, it can cause skin burns, eye damage, and temporary blindness. Burns occur from direct exposure to light radiation on open areas of the skin (primary burns), as well as from burning clothes, in fires (secondary burns). Depending on the severity of the lesion, burns are divided into four degrees: the first is redness, swelling and soreness of the skin; the second is the formation of bubbles; the third - necrosis of the skin and tissues; the fourth is charring of the skin. In order to protect, it is necessary to use fortifications and the protective properties of the terrain.

What is a nuclear weapon?

Nuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction of explosive action, based on the use of intra-nuclear energy, instantly released as a result of a chain reaction during the fission of atomic nuclei of radioactive elements (uranium-235 or plutonium-239).

The power of a nuclear weapon is measured in TNT equivalent, i.e. mass of trinitrotoluene (TNT), the explosion energy of which is equivalent to the explosion energy of a given nuclear weapon and is measured in tons,

Shock wave The main damaging factor of a nuclear explosion. This is an area of ​​sharp compression of air, propagating in all directions from the center of the explosion at supersonic speed. The source of the air wave is the high pressure in the explosion area (billions of atmospheres) and the temperature reaching millions of degrees.

The hot gases formed during the explosion, rapidly expanding, transfer pressure to neighboring layers of air, compressing and heating them, and they, in turn, act on the next layers, etc. As a result, a high-pressure zone propagates in the air at supersonic speed in all directions from the center of the explosion.

So, during the explosion of a 20-kiloton nuclear weapon, the shock wave travels 1000 m in 2 seconds, 2000 m in 5 seconds, and 3000 m in 8 seconds. The front boundary of the wave is called the front of the shock wave.

Directly behind the front of the shock wave, strong air currents are formed, the speed of which reaches several hundred kilometers per hour. (Even at a distance of 10 km from the site of the explosion of a munition with a capacity of 1 Mt, the air speed is more than 110 km / h.)

The damaging effect of SW is characterized by the amount of excess pressure.

Excess pressure is the difference between the maximum pressure in the SW front and normal atmospheric pressure, measured in Pascals (PA, kPa).

To characterize the destruction of buildings and structures, four degrees of destruction were adopted: complete, strong, medium and weak.

  • Complete destruction
  • Strong destruction
  • Medium destruction
  • Weak destruction

The impact of the shock wave on people is characterized by light, medium, severe and extremely severe lesions.

  • Light lesions occur at an excess pressure of 20–40 kPa. They are characterized by temporary hearing loss, slight contusions, dislocations, bruises.
  • Moderate lesions occur at an overpressure of 40–60 kPa. They manifest themselves in concussions of the brain, damage to the organs of hearing, bleeding from the nose and ears, and dislocations of the limbs.
  • Severe lesions are possible with excess pressure from 60 to 100 kPa. They are characterized by severe contusions of the whole organism, loss of consciousness, fractures; possible damage to internal organs.
  • Extremely severe lesions occur at excess pressure over 100 kPa. People have injuries of internal organs, internal bleeding, concussion, severe fractures. These lesions are often fatal.
  • Shelters provide protection from shock waves. In open areas, the effect of the shock wave is reduced by various recesses and obstacles. It is recommended to lie on the ground with your head in the direction from the explosion, preferably in a recess or a fold in the terrain.

light emission

Light radiation is a stream of radiant energy, including the ultraviolet, visible and infrared regions of the spectrum.

It is formed by products of the explosion heated to a million degrees and hot air.

The duration depends on the power of the explosion and ranges from fractions of a second to 20-30 seconds.

The strength of the light radiation is such that it can cause skin burns, eye damage (up to

blindness). Radiation leads to massive fires and explosions.

Protection for a person can be any barriers that do not let light through.

penetrating radiation

ionizing radiation

The radiation that is generated

during radioactive decay, nuclear transformations and forms ions of various signs when interacting with the environment. Basically, it's a stream

elementary particles that are not visible and not felt by man. Any nuclear radiation, interacting with various materials, ionizes them. The action lasts 10-15 seconds.

There are three types of ionizing radiation - alpha, beta, gamma radiation. Alpha radiation has a high ionizing but weak penetrating power. Beta radiation is less ionizing but more penetrating. Gamma and neutron radiation have a very high penetrating power.

Protection against penetrating radiation is provided by various shelters and materials that attenuate the radiation and neutron flux.

Pay attention to the difference in the protective potential in gamma and neutron radiation.

Radiation (radioactive)

area contamination

Among the damaging factors of a nuclear explosion, radioactive contamination occupies a special place, since it can affect not only the area adjacent to the site of the explosion, but also the area remote by tens and even hundreds of kilometers. At the same time, contamination can be created over large areas and for a long time, posing a danger to humans and animals. The fission products falling out of the explosion cloud are a mixture of approximately 80 isotopes of 35 chemical elements of the middle part of the Mendeleev Periodic Table of Elements (from zinc #30 to gadolinium #64).

Since a significant amount of soil and other substances are involved in a fireball during a ground explosion, when cooled, these particles fall out in the form of radioactive fallout. As the radioactive cloud moves, radioactive fallout occurs in its wake, and thus a radioactive trail remains on the earth. The density of contamination in the region of the explosion and in the wake of the movement of the radioactive cloud decreases with distance from the center of the explosion.

The radioactive trace with the same wind direction and speed has the shape of an elongated ellipse and is conditionally divided into four zones: moderate (A), strong (B), dangerous (C) and extremely dangerous (D) contamination.

Nuclear explosions in the atmosphere and in higher layers lead to the formation of powerful electromagnetic fields with wavelengths from 1 to 1000 m or more. These fields, in view of their short-term existence, are usually called an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). The consequence of exposure to EMR is the burnout of individual elements of modern electronic and electrical equipment. The duration of the action is several tens of milliseconds.

Potentially poses a serious threat, disabling any equipment that DOES NOT HAVE A PROTECTIVE SCREEN.

The focus of nuclear destruction

This is the area directly affected by the damaging factors of a nuclear explosion.

The focus of a nuclear lesion is divided into:

Depending on the type of nuclear charge, one can distinguish:

Thermonuclear weapons, the main energy release of which occurs during a thermonuclear reaction - the synthesis of heavy elements from lighter ones, and a nuclear charge is used as a fuse for a thermonuclear reaction;

Neutron weapon - a low-power nuclear charge, supplemented by a mechanism that ensures the release of most of the explosion energy in the form of a stream of fast neutrons; its main damaging factor is neutron radiation and induced radioactivity.
