The reason atomic weapons have not been used since then is because now many countries possess these devastating weapons. Even the smaller atomic bombs in stockpiles currently are larger than the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That also doesn't figure in the thermonuclear bombs that countries possess. Using a nuclear or thermonuclear (hydrogen fusion bomb, f.y.i.) now would potentially create nuclear war.
In addition, the dropping of the bomb brought us into the atomic age and it is a good reason they have not been used since 1945.
