Hiroshima & Nagasaki were atomic not nuclear.

atomic and nuclear are the same thing, both generally refer to nuclear processes that release energy, either through fission, fusion, or some combination.

I wasn't a physics major, but i've understood that splitting atoms and splitting nucleii yield drastically different results, with the nucleus being much more volitile.

an atom is a nucleus surrounded by electrons.  to split an atom is to split the nucleus.

now, there's fission and fusion.  fission is splitting a nucleus, fusion is combining nuclei.  maybe you are confusing those.  the early atomic bombs were pure fission, hydrogen bombs which are stronger used the energy from fission to produce fusion releasing even more energy.

either way it's all nuclear.

Mr. O:
