Nuclear weapons have been around for over 70 years now‚ still many people around the world are oblivious of the effects that they still have on our world today. The first nuclear weapon‚ known as the Atomic Bomb‚ was first detonated in 1945 in Alamogordo‚ NM. Since then‚ Nuclear weapons have only had a negative impact on the world‚ specifically they have affected the environment‚ economies worldwide‚ world security‚ and all life on Earth. The extreme amount of power that these devices possess is

With North Korea’s constant nuclear testing‚ the U.S. needs to be concerned. North Korea claims to have conducted their largest nuclear test ever‚ causing an explosion that triggered an artificial magnitude 5 earthquake‚ and the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that the weapon could be “mounted on strategic ballistic rockets”‚ allowing Kim Jong-un’s military to target enemies around the world‚ also they have launched a series of ballistic missiles with growing ranges that it said were

Now‚ we have thousand times more destructive bombs and weapons than we had during the Second World War. These nuclear weapons can devastate the whole world many times over. Modern age is the age of science. During the last ten years‚ there have been great achievements in science and technology. It has changed the face of the world beyond recognition. The whole

Nuclear Power Stations 8.4.1: The firing of neutron at a heavy nucleus may result in the nucleus splitting‚ releasing free neutrons and lighter nuclei; which can then collide with other nuclei and resulting in the same process. This is a fission chain reaction. 8.4.2: In a fission reaction‚ if you can remove the emitted neutrons from the fissionable material‚ then you can control the rate at which the chain reaction proceeds. A fission reaction whereby the reaction is allowed to proceed without

Nuclear energy has a significant role in the economy. The nuclear energy industry leads to job creation and economic growth. 400 to 700 permanent jobs are required by the operation of one nuclear power plant (Nuclear Energy Institute‚ 2014). There are more than 63‚000 highly skilled workers involved in the civil nuclear industry throughout the UK. In addition‚ there over 80‚000 jobs linked to the industry directly or indirectly (Nuclear Industry Association‚ n.d.). Nevertheless‚ a large amount of

Albert Einstein: The Nuclear Rejection Albert Einstein once said‚ “ I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out with the atom bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.”. From this quote‚ he wanted everyone‚ anywhere around the world to not use nuclear weapons. He wanted his famous formula e=mc^2 to bring good for everyone around the world. Soon after knowing that making nuclear weapons is possible by using his formula‚ Albert started writing letters to president
