Nuclear weapons cause unimaginable death and destruction. Without a doubt‚ these are the most powerful weapons mankind has ever built. However‚ there is also a scientific side to this weaponry which Teddy Roosevelt may have indeed called very big sticks. Nuclear weapons work by releasing the enormous amounts of energy that are contained in the bonds of atoms. The bonds of atoms can be broken in two ways. The first way is by fission‚ and the second way is by fusion. Fission works by the splitting

sides less likely to fight – nuclear weapons. Both Neptune and Mercury have a small number of short range nuclear weapons that can reach the territory of the other state. In theory‚ nuclear weapons are forms of offensive technologies and according to the Offense-Defense Theory‚ war is more likely in offensive eras as the advantage goes to the first attacker. However‚ in practice‚ nuclear weapons are a deterrent for war. The consequences for using a nuclear weapon are catastrophic. Since both Neptune

Meaning Nuclear weapons tests are experiments carried out to determine the effectiveness‚ yield‚ and explosive capability of nuclear weapons. Throughout the 20th century‚ most nations that developed nuclear weapons tested them. Testing nuclear weapons can yield information about how the weapons work‚ as well as how the weapons behave under various conditions and how structures behave when subjected to nuclear explosions. Nuclear testing has often been used as an indicator of scientific and military

themselves could be found in several‚ slightly varied shapes and sizes. Mortars were used to hurl their bombs high into the air at steep angles. The desired effect was that the bomb would fall from directly above‚ landing right on the enemy.

Uranium (U) is a metallic‚ silver-gray element that is a member of the actinide series. It is the principle fuel for nuclear reactors‚ but it also is utilized in the production of nuclear weapons. Because uranium is radioactive‚ it is constantly emitting particles and changing into other elements‚ like thorium. Uranium has a well-established radioactive decay chain. U-238 and U-235 (which has 143 neutrons) are the most common isotopes of uranium. Uranium naturally includes all three isotopes (U-238
