Nuclear technology has been developing rapidly over the years since 1954‚ when the world’s first entirely functional nuclear power plant was built in Obninsk‚ Moscow. It has since‚ become an integral part of human life‚ existing in everyday applications like smoke detectors‚ deadly weaponry and an alternative source of renewable energy. The development of nuclear technology is considered as one of the most important‚ and significant scientific progresses made to date. However‚ many people around

The instant a one megaton nuclear bomb is dropped everyone within a six mile radius of the drop site will be instantly vaporized. The people will literally not have known what hit them‚ because they will have vanished before the electrical signals from their sense organs can reach their brains. These are the people who are lucky‚ when it comes to a nuclear bombing. Those within a ten mile radius will have instantly become blind‚ and people even further away would become blind if they were looking
