is there any technology available to safely guard a city against a nuclear attack if timely information is rec

Question

Answer 1

Fortunately .....yes if a country has researched extensively in the field of LASERS and has a SAM missile battery installed in one of the cities that city can be protected from a ballistic missile.
this is called anti ballistic missile technology. but the devastation to the environment can not be checked i mean to the atmosphere . the technology involves a LASER guided missile which is instantaneously launched if the in coming missile is identified as a ballistic missile.Identifying is done by low frequency ultrasonic signals , which identify whether the head as hyper sonic or super sonic usually ballistic missiles have hypersonic heads. if the atom bomb is launched in a cruise missile the only one who can save the city and that is ...............................................GOD. in near future there are going to be anti cruise missiles too.that is why the cruise missiles are so dangerous there are only four nations possessing the capability of a nuclear cruise missile the nations are U.S.A.,Russia,France,India. because these countries have the fastest cruise missiles in the world ... the patriot of the Americans, the Marcelo of the french ,and the BrahMos of the combined Indian-Russian.

Answer 2

There are some that are possible, but none that have been erected as a working defense system, due usually to the costs involved and the limitations of the required technology. For example, the "star wars" defense system idea from back in the 1980s had some research started but was finally deemed much too costly and ineffective. The more recent idea of land-based interceptor missiles (I forget the project name), much similar to conventional missile defenses such as the Patriot and Aegis systems, is a more reasonable alternative. But the cost involved is still severely prohibitive when you consider that current defense systems are designed to only protect a single structure or small area. A network of interceptors protecting a city, much less an entire country, would be much too expensive for any government to construct.

Answer 3

That depends on your question, IF we have timely information AND we can get to the guys that are going to set off the bomb then yes.. a simple gun will do the trick (**bang** dead terrorist no bomb). However if your question means IF we find a bomb AND there is only a few minutes to the detonation there is no technology that is publicly known that will protect a city (sorta like a shield that you could put over a city like star trek or some such.)

Another way to look at your questions would be the ballistic missile angle, IF we knew that a terrorist was gonna lob a missile at us AND we knew where the target was we could **maybe** shoot it down (that's a big maybe) the Patriot missile system might be able to shoot down an inbound ballistic missile but only if we were very very lucky.

Answer 4

To protect the people, evacuate the city.

To protect the city, build a structure between the city and the location of detonation strong enough to contain the blast, the radiation, and all the radioactive particles. A small mountain would be adequate.

Or, as others have mentioned, prevent the attack.

Answer 5

well,im not too sure about this but lasers can be used to destroy neuclear weapons before they hit the ground at considerably large distances such the the ground wont have any HUGE damage.The only changes u can bring about in a nuclear atom are chemical and nuclear ones.u obviously cant bring about a nuclear change as a LOT of energy is released. also, a LOT of energy is required.when u bring about a chemical change ,it dosent effect the activity of radioactive substances as it only depends upon n/p ratio of a nucleus(n=neutrones,p=protons)
so bthe best way according 2 me are lasers

Answer 6

they cant save a city from a hurricane, that they knew about 4 days in advance.
they cant save a city from so called terrorists in airplanes, when they had a month to act.
so they damn sure cant save a city from a nuclear attack when they only have minutes to act.

Answer 7

Pray to be at ground zero. all the rest is painful slow death.

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

No.
