Have you visited Hiroshima or Nagasaki and their a-bomb museums? We are told by surviving witnesses that a bomb equivalent to 20 000 000 kg of TNT exploded at 600 m altitude in a big FLASH and that each town was destroyed/flattened in nanoseconds August 6 and 9, 1945 by these bombs killing 100 000 people at once by radiation. Another 100 000 people died later due to delayed radiation. But it is just US war propaganda. The towns were destroyed months earlier by conventional napalm carpet fire bombings. Noone died due to radiation. An early example of Fake News. I assume you believe lies. You are thus a victim of cognitive dissonance. You are not alone. But thanks for studying http://heiwaco.com/bomb.htm .
I’ve read your website and...where do I begin?
First of all it is not nor has it ever been illegal to say atomic bombs don’t work. You can say it all you want and nobody will care. Least of all the federal government. They wouldn’t even give such claims credence let alone investigate them. Anybody trying to prosecute such a thing would be laughed out of court...heck it would never even make it to court. You'd have a great case for malicious prosecution though.
As to the rest of it? You’ve made conclusions based on dubious and out of context information and formed the opinion that atomic weapons are fake. Never the less, as you state several times, it’s only your opinion. And it’s just that. An opinion not even remotely rising to the level of fact. The fact is you’re wrong. Nuclear power and atomic weapons exist and work exactly as stated in any of the dozens of college text books on the subject. AAMOF, all of MITs courses are available online. Maybe you should take one or two.
And, don't get me started on that green box about ionizing radiation. The only thing that is true is the comment about x-rays. Everything else is completely wrong.

Thanks for visiting my web site about fission. Yes, fission works and releases energy as heat in nuclear power plants under moderated conditions using nuclear fuels - uranium oxides. No doubt about it.
But this military FLASH fission releasing plenty heat during some nanoseconds in an a-bomb using solid uranium metal as fuel is pure nonsense. There is no way to start it! Compressing suddenly two bits of metal into a critical mass is ridiculous.
And US laws are clear. Death sentence if you tell the truth.
The physics that make a reactor work are exactly the same physics that make a nuclear weapon work. It’s all about critical mass and critical geometry. So, you compress the mass way below critical geometry very quickly you get a very, very fast release of the same energy you get from a thermally moderated reactor. That's why the fissile material is hollow; so it will compress down way below critical geometry in milliseconds. So fast that it becomes prompt critical and BOOM!
Nuclear reactor-nuclear bomb, identical mechanisms of operation, nothing additional to understand or learn, and certainly nothing magical.
It really is that simple...in a nuclear physics kinda way.
BTW, you really can say it's not real. Atomic Energy Act of 1946 as amended in 1954 only protects the technical details of how weapons and the governments reactors work. Saying they're fake or don't exist isn't even covered. I actually deal with this on a daily basis.
