PDF-Radiation Effects of a Nuclear Bomb

Beside shock blast and heat a nuclear bomb generates high intensity flux of radiation in form of rays xrays andneutrons as well as large abundances of short and longlived radioactive nuclei which c.

Since the mid 1900s, nuclear warfare and terrorism have become a universal fear around the world. Knowledge of subatomic particles has led to many advancements- unfortunately besides the advancements in power plants there has been costs-nuclear warfare and waste. Nuclear Decay. The nucleus-cluster of protons and neutrons-is in the centre of an atom. By: Carlos . The A-Bomb (Atom Bomb). The A-Bomb was the first kind of nuclear weapon. At the time The U.S.A. Had no missile technology so the first A-Bomb was a gravity bomb. . W. hich means it had to be carried by a plane and dropped. Only Germany had missiles at the time so it was a good thing we captured them. A German scientist was actually the reason we have nuclear weaponry. He found out that Uranium in a critical stage creates massive amounts of energy. He also saw that it released deadly radiation. Only two A-Bombs where launched in the name of war. One other was tested.. Charles Perrow, Emeritus Professor, Yale University.
