A nuclear explosion is caused by the release of energy in an atom‚ either through fission or fusion. Fission weapons cause an explosion by the splitting of atomic nuclei. This happens when a neutron collides with the nucleus of an atom. The protons in the nucleus are transformed into a great amount of energy and two or three more neutrons are sent out‚ which go on to split other nuclei. If this continues‚ a chain reaction will occur. The result is a gigantic explosion. To form a chain reaction‚ a

In his article‚ “Why Fukushima made me stop worrying and love nuclear power”‚ Monbiot (2012) he uses inductive form approach on his fist key argument to support his main claim which stated that there is no ideal solution in the energy technologies but the impacts created by nuclear is smaller than other solutions. He supported his key argument with two observations. First observation is Fukushima nuclear disaster shows that there were no fatal cases caused by exposure to radioactive rays although

is gaining in popularity is nuclear energy. With 14 percent of the world using it today it is a viable alternative to burning fossil fuels. To give you a basic idea on how the process of converting energy works according to the Canadian Nuclear Association is as basic as‚ “splitting the uranium atom to generate the heat that is used to produce steam for the production of electricity”(www.cna.ca). However things do not always run so smoothly‚ and the leakage of the nuclear material could have devastating

The people will literally not have known what hit them‚ because they will have vanished before the electrical signals from their sense organs can reach their brains. These are the people who are lucky‚ when it comes to a nuclear bombing. Those within a ten mile radius will have instantly become blind‚ and people even further away would become blind if they were looking
