another Atomic bomb made. During the Manhattan Project‚ a code name for the creation of the A-bomb‚ they built Fat man and Little Boy. The difference between little boy and fat man was that little boy was a Uranium bomb‚ while fat man was made out of plutonium. Although fat man was a larger bomb‚ little boy killed more people. The reason for this is that Hiroshima was a higher populated city than Nagasaki. Little boy killed approximately 135‚000 people‚ including women and children‚ while Fat man only

thought added a rational and modern aspect to the poem. Some of these words also caused me to pause and think for a second‚ recalling information that I learned from 9th grade science class. For example‚ many of his poems featured the atomic element Plutonium and he utilized scientific terms such as "nucleus‚" "X-rays‚" "supernova‚" and "lunar eclipse" throughout his poems. I thought these scientific terms served to add a technical aspect to the poems‚ making them more intricate and captivating. In addition

The other‚ an Implosion fission bomb where “a sphere of Plutonium-239 is surrounded by high explosives that compress the plutonium”. Both bombs had a TNT equivalent of over 15‚000 tons‚ and the sheer force of both explosions was equal to the load of nearly 200 B-29 bombers. Everyone has heard of these famous bombings.

ENVIRONMENT ISSUES TODAY There are considerable environmental issues that require urgent attention to make the ecology friendly. Climate change is changing our economy‚ health and communities in diverse ways. Scientists warn that if we do not aggressively curb climate change now‚ the results will likely be disastrous. Carbon dioxide and other global warming pollutants are collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket‚ trapping the sun’s heat and causing the planet to warm up. In addition

More than 30‚000 metric tons of nuclear waste have arisen from U.S. commercial reactors as well as high level nuclear weapons waste‚ such as uranium and plutonium [Roush‚ 1995]. Because of the build-up of this waste‚ some power plants will be forced to shut down. To avoid losing an important source of energy‚ a safe and economical place to keep this waste is necessary.

India’s Nuclear Deterrence Program Defense or Development? Riva Patel 1/20/2013 India’s foreign policy has been profoundly affected by the nuclear explosions conducted in May 1998. The departure from the professed peaceful nuclear policies has had several implications for India’s defense and foreign policies. The explosions in Pokhran have aggravated tensions in south Asia by disrupting diplomatic initiatives with Pak and China. Diplomacy has been reduced to damage control. The object of India’s
