from massive nuclear tests have encountered enough radiation (due to weather blowing it in their direction) to increase cancer rates and permanently harm babies in utero” (Loria, 2017). The chemicals used in nuclear weapons are usually radium or plutonium which is very deadly when inhaled. These chemical are spread everywhere when the bomb explodes. Being exposed to the radiation can permanently harm babies in utero due to its highly toxic

Nuclear weapons are weapons used by the United States during World War 2. They are a destructive weapon that obtains its force from nuclear reactions such as fission bomb and thermonuclear bomb.The creation of nuclear weapons is a plague on society. These weapons have no positive effects or outcomes, yet many countries today still continue to create and use these weapons. There are two types of atomic bombs used during World War 2: “Little Boy” and “Fat Man”. “Little Boy” was the code name of the
Book Report Over The Radioactive Boy Scout I chose to read The Radioactive Boy Scout, written by Ken Silverstein, because I found it interesting how a simple Boy Scout could build an entire nuclear reactor in his backyard. I was confused before I read the book because, from what I’ve heard, Boy Scouts aren’t taught how to build a nuclear reactor. I knew something was a little off about that and wanted to learn why. I was also confused on how a boy could build a nuclear reactor without his parents
Nuclear energy is the energy inside of the nucleus of atoms, the small particles that make up the universe. The energy is what keeps the nucleus together, which means that the denser the nuclei, the more energy the atom possesses. By splitting the nuclei we can therefore release the energy it stores and use it to create electricity: this process is called nuclear fission. A nuclear reactor is used to produce the process called nuclear fission. For this, the element uranium is used as fuel due to
In the last four decades, nuclear weapons have spread all over the world. This spread increased the chance of a nuclear war with unpredictable consequences. Some governments claim that they have these kinds of weapons to defend themselves, and others say that it maintains the military balance between countries. However, all countries in the world should give up their nuclear weapons because it is a risk to humans, it harms nature and it is a waste of money. Shultz et al (2007) say that "nuclear weapons
