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; a modern thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than a thousand kilograms can produce an explosion comparable to the detonation of more than a billion kilograms of conventional high explosive. Even small nuclear devices can devastate a city. Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control has been a major aspect of international policy since their debut.

In the history of warfare, only two nuclear weapons have been detonated offensively, both near the end of World War II. The first nuclear weapon was detonated by United States, in 1945, August 6th in Hiroshima, and the second nuclear weapon was detonated by "Fat man", the American army, in 1945, August 9th in Nagasaki.

some consequences are:
The explosion of the atomic bomb raised the temperature thousands of degrees to melt almost all materials, including clay. The hurricane created by this energy release that evolved in two waves with opposite direction reached 1,500 miles per hour speed.

Thousands of people died on the spot, many volatilized, others burned, and some thrown several kilometers away from its point of origin for the storm unleashed

The sun of death ", the Japanese name given to the effects of radioactive gamma rays, alpha and delta, an imprint of pain caused hundreds of casualties in the bombing. Up to twenty years after the explosion of the survivors died as a result of these things.

Major injuries, according to the radiation dose absorbed due to blood disorder, plastic anemia from leukemia, damage to the epithelial in the skin and mucous membranes, especially in the respiratory and gastrointestinal, with onset of vomiting , nausea and bleeding, skin lesions of the type of acute necrosis and coexist with those of the burns from the blast and heat injuries in the gonadal epithelium, because of further fetal malformations.
