CONSEQUENCES OF NUCLEAR WEAPON

What is nuclear weapon?


A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that

derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter.

ECONOMIC CHAOS
The place which nuclear detonated will

become contaminated. Such that if Britain use a nuclear missile on the middle east country. The oil there will be contaminated. The oil supply for the world will be greatly reduced because the world largest oil supplier is being bombarded with nuclear. This will cripple other industries that depend on the oil.

Some nuclear explosion can result in

electromagnetic pulse (EMP). This wave can damage electronic appliance to a certain radius from the detonation. This will make any bank record or other record become unreliable.

ENVIROMENTAL POLLUTION
Nuclear explosion will make the land become

unfertile and contaminated for few centuries. No life will be able to leave there let alone human.

NUCLEAR WINTER
If nuclear explosion with 100 megatons were

exploded in low-yield airbursts over cities could ignite thousands of fires. The smoke from these fires would be enough to generate a Nuclear Winter, darkening and chilling the earth and reducing world food crops.

NUCLEAR OVERKILL
The power from the nuclear weapon is not

small, just look at the history where Nagasaki and Hiroshima being bombarded. Countless life lost in that attack. Country like Russia and America have enough nuclear weapon to destroy the whole humanity for several time.

MUTATION
Nuclear give off bad effect to those that and

the living. The survivor will suffer mutation in their genetic for several generations.

VOLCANIC EXPLOSION
The continuous pounding of the earth's crust

with a thousand nuclear explosions might greatly increase earthquake and volcanic activities. In the early 1980s, the world had its greatest volcanic activity in 70 years, with the eruption of volcanoes in the U.S., Mexico, and Indonesia. At this time, many nuclear tests were being carried out by the U.S. and U.S.S.R.

TERRORIST THREAT
Owning the nuclear weapon can come with

great risk. If by chance this weapon fall on the hand the warmonger the world will entering the age of total chaos.

MAINTAINING COST
The country that owning the

nuclear weapon have to use billions of dollar every year just to ensure that the weapon that reserve for the enemy does not exploded in their own base.

We have yet to fully grasp the monstrous effects of these weapons, that the consequences of their use defy reason, transcending time and space, poisoning the earth and deforming its inhabitants
General Lee Butler, former head of U.S. Strategic Command, December 4, 1996
