Atomic Bomb (Fallout 3)

 is a world object in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
This bomb was dropped on Washington D.C. during the Great War in 2077; however it remained unexploded in its crater. It is active, however, and the Player is given the choice to blow it (and Megaton) away in a cloud of nuclear dust, or disarm it and save the town's population. It sits in a puddle of radioactive water from which Confessor Cromwell constantly makes a speech about his religion.

History
The founders of Megaton discovered the bomb and a group of people calling themselves the Children of Atom worshipping it. They teamed up with them, and, using planes from a now-demolished airport, built Megaton out of airplane parts. The bomb itself has served as the central point of the town since its construction, as it made the crater in which the town sits.

Religion
There is a religion called the children of the atom and think the bomb is a gift and the water it touches is holy water. They also think of themselves as the people with wisdom. In Broken Steel, they irradiate megaton's clean water because they think its holy.
