Stage 2:Releasing blindingly bright flashes and radiating heat, this is the second stage of a nuclear explosion.
What is a ball of fire?
200
An explosive device whose destructive potential derives from the release of energy that accompanies the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei.
What is a nuclear weapon?
300
Montebello Islands, Western Australia.
What is the first British atomic device test?
