Environmental Impacts Of Nuclear Bombs
GENERAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF NUCLEAR BOMBS
According to the movie, TRINITY AND BEYOND: THE ATOMIC BOMB MOVIE, on July the sixteenth year 1945, at a site called "Trinity", a plutonium bomb' was piled and taken up the top of a tower. This plutonium bomb' was exploded thereby generating a very high measure of flash light and a fireball that radiated through 0.6 kilometers (0.37 miles) in 2 seconds. The detonative energy or power was equivalent to 18.6 kilotons of TNT. This fume grew up to an upward height of more than 12 kilometers (7.5 miles), flaming up in the shape of a mushroom. (See page six of this article for sample picture of the mushroom-like fume copied from the movie's website, vce.com). Forty seconds later, the blast of hot air or heat from the bomb reached the observation stations, along with a long and deafening bang of sound. As this experience began the so-called atomic age', this movie is a historical perspective and documentary of the development of nuclear weapons (Atomic Central).
My aim of writing this article is basically not to argue for or against nuclear weapons but perhaps to write about my opinions, reactions, and the environmental impact of nuclear weapons on human lives and non-living organisms on this planet earth; our beautiful environment that make life sustainable. Of course, the impact of nuclear bombs has the capacity or potential of being so catastrophic that it needs to be seriously discussed.
Historically, in 1945, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both in Japan, were the first sample cities in the history of humanity to experience the dropping of nuclear bombs. Within a twinkle of an eye, these cities were completely annihilated causing the loss of many lives. The minds and bodies of the survivors were deeply wounded, and the pain, anguish, anger, and hatred that this situation had caused have continued down to this day (Atomic Central).
By reminiscing over the actual gory effect of what took...
