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

This is the starting explosion “ in which a weapon is detonated on or slightly above the surface of the earth” (Pike‚ 1998‚ p. 4). In this area the destruction is extremely concentrated. Then comes the primary blast wave‚ this wave is so strong it vaporizes everything within approximately 1 kilometer. The protagonist in “Grace Period” saw this part of the explosion as “a fluctuation of light

London‚ England. On March 23‚ 2005‚ a series of massive explosions devastated one of the largest British Petroleum refineries located in Texas City.

A state funded independent investigation would later find Massey Energy directly responsible for the accident. (www.sourcewatch.org) The explosion was ignited by high methane levels being a contributed factor. You have to ventilate the air in the coal mines so methane levels do not get high and cause an accident. The

Paul Ehrlich first introduced this idea in 1968 with his book‚ “The Population Bomb.” It succeeded in scaring the masses‚ just as Thomas Malthus did‚ but these theories suffer under the impression that humans are the only thing fluctuating. “Population rose six-fold in the next 200 years.
