system‚ electrical power generation unit‚ and safety system (The Nuclear Power Plant‚ 2004‚ p. 2810). The main source of energy created for the generation of electricity happens in a nuclear reactor in which neutrons are collided with uranium-235 or plutonium-239 (fuel) to create a nuclear fission reaction (The Nuclear Power Plant‚ 2004‚ p. 2810). Products of energy‚ fission products and free neutrons are released (The Nuclear Power Plant‚ 2004‚ p. 2810). Therefore‚ chain reactions will continue to occur

Many world leaders claim that nuclear weapons are vital shields for the planet. They claim that nuclear weapons are deterrents that prevent the world from breaking out in total war.

Nuclear weapons pose a huge danger to humanity‚ but some people don’t understand how they work. A nuclear bomb is a device that harnesses the power of a nuclear reaction and unleashes it. They are usually made from enriched uranium or weapons grade plutonium‚ and they can be delivered in many different ways‚ but misses or aircraft deployed bombs are the most common. Nuclear weapons are called weapons of mass destruction for a reason. One small nuclear device is enough to level a city‚ and potentially

The war included many nations‚ but the main Allies included Great Britain‚ the U.S.‚ the Soviet Union‚ China‚
