When Lieutenant General Grant decided to handle Confederate forces in Virginia in 1864, he made City Point, Virginia his headquarters. On August 9, 1864, two Confederate agents, John Maxwell and R. K. Dillard performed a horrible act of terrorism. They had managed to smuggle a time bomb on a Union ammunition barge at City Point, Virginia. The explosion killed 43 Union soldiers and wounded over one hundred others. General Grant was in the city but was not injured.
Ground Zero is the place where a bomb actually explodes - the effects of the explosion spread out from the ground 0 point.

Yes, a supercritical mass of fissile material such as uranium or plutonium can accelerate until a nuclear explosion occurs. When the mass reaches a critical point, a rapid chain reaction takes place, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and pressure, resulting in an explosion.
