I don't recall any reports of metal transmutations, when we dropped those bombs in Japan. But, then again, they were small H-Bombs. Actually, both the bombs dropped over Japan were Fission devices, one being a plutonium device, and the other a basic gun-barrel design utilizing U235. I believe each were in the 20Kiloton yield range, as compared to modern devices of several hundred kilotons (depending on the yield that is "dialed" in). H-bombs, on the other hand, are actually triggered by a fissionable device that achieves the heat necessary to achieve fusion. (Help me out here Zeev as I'm commenting based upon my best recollection). Regards, Ron
