Nuclear Weapons (Dangerous)

Nuclear weapons are considered threats to the human race and have made the world an insecure residence for living organisms. Nuclear weapons are destructive weapons that obtain its force from nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reactions. Both of these procedures use the process of either splitting the atomic particles apart or joined together to absorb maximum energy. The questioning possibility of generating cumulative energy through the splitting of atoms was discussed during Rutherford’s time but was created through the famous equation of Albert Einstein in WWII. Nuclear Weapons were first conducted in Socorro, New Mexico on July 16, 1945 then used in WWII on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan. Decades later, nuclear weapons were a start in developing a new source of energy, nuclear energy. It was introduced and used in these modern days with precautions. Soon incidents occurred. The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant experienced nuclear meltdown resulting release of radiation causing a series of destruction. I, myself as a student, strongly reject the statement that “nuclear weapons have made the world a safer place”. Each individual have different opinions. Some may reject my thesis because nuclear weapons introduced us to a new source of energy as I mentioned earlier, nuclear energy. Nuclear energy was the new hope of solving our global warming problem and cheap power. Although it doesn’t release carbon emissions, toxic waste and radiation are still produced after the reaction. These toxic wastes are more harmful than carbon emissions because of its ability to contaminate humans through inhalation or absorption. In addition, these wastes stay radioactive for thousands of years. Nuclear weapons maybe destructive but some may say because of its destructiveness, nations would fear to use them. Therefore, if it was used to ensure security, it wouldn’t be a problem. But if we were had to have a nuclear war, all mankind would be wiped out with every organism living
