What is the smell of a Nuclear explosion?

'A TERRIBLE SMELL OF BURNING'

MITSUGU Moriguchi, 70, a retired elementary school teacher, was only nine years old when Nagasaki was bombed: "Luckily, I had been evacuated to the countryside at the time, but I remember the bomb going off. I was playing outside with two of my brothers at the time when there was a massive sound, followed by a gale created by the blast wave and the mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

"We waited a week before returning to my original home in the city, which had been three kilometres from the blast centre.

"There are so many terrible images of the devastation that I remember, but one that sticks out was the sight of all the burned bodies scattered at the roadside. Some of them were still smouldering, but the sight was accompanied by a terrible smell of burning, not just from the human bodies, but all the buildings around. It's something I will never forget.

"A decade later, one of my four sisters died of cancer caused by the radiation, and the three other died shortly after, all from the effects of the bomb."

I`ve never smelled one. Any smell produced by the radioactive isotopes would more than likely be overwhelemed by the debrea swept up and flung into the atmosphere! Good question! I hope I never have to smell one.

ASK THE AMERICANS WHO HAD DROPPED BOMB IN JAPAN.

USA the first sole PROPIETER user of atom bomb ( USA used against JAPAN).

If all start making ATOM BOMB, which is propitery of USA; THEN USA can not control the WORLD. It is natural that the SOLE PROPIETER HAS THE RIGHT OVER ATOM TECHNOLOGY.

However USA, the propieter, is kind enough to grand permission to other nations for PEACEFUL use.

All can use it for PEACE (except propieter user- USA).

Like POOR india is making deal with USA for peaceful use by POOR Indian.

I saw "Nuclear Explosion" in concert, it smelled like sweat, weed and puntang. Awesome.

Probably a harsh burnt smell

I doubt there is a smell, and like another poster said, if you could smell it, you would be dead before your brain could process the data, you would be vaporized instantaneously! :(

No smell just a flash of bright light and then darkness and then death..
