History Of Nuclear Weapons
 The first nuclear weapons were
created by the United States,
and Albert Einstein Manhattan
Project.
 While the first weapons were
developed mainly out of fear
that Germany they would first
develop them, they were
eventually used against the
Japanese cities of Hiroshima
Nagasaki in August 1945.
History Of Nuclear Weapons
 Nuclear weapons
were symbols of
military and national
power, and nuclear
testing nuclear was
often used both to
test new designs as
well as to send
political messages.
History Of Nuclear Weapons
 Other nations also
developed nuclear weapons
during this time, including
the United Kingdom France,
and China. These five
members of the "nuclear
club" agreed to attempt to
limit the spread of nuclear
rise to other nations, though
at least three other countries
(India, South Africa,
Pakistan, and most likely
Israel) developed nuclear
arms during this time.
Effect of Nuclear Weapons
 The energy released from
a nuclear weapon comes
in four major categories:
 Blast – 40-60% of total
energy
 Thermal radiation – 30-
50% of total energy
 Ionizing radiation – 5% of
total energy
 Residual radiation (fallout)
– 5-10% of total energy
Effect of Nuclear Weapons
 Although a nuclear
weapon is capable of
causing the same
destruction as usual
explosives through the
effects of blast and
thermal radiation, release
much larger amounts of
energy in a much shorter
period of time.
Effect of Nuclear Weapons
 Most of the damage
caused by a nuclear
weapon is not directly
related to the nuclear
process of energy
release, and would be
present for any
explosion of the same
magnitude.
Effect of Nuclear Weapons
 A nuclear weapon that
is exploded
underground can
destroy a deeply send
out energy efficiently
and requires
significantly less
power to do so than a
nuclear weapon.
Effect of Nuclear Weapons
China Effect Of Nuclear Weapons
 U.S. intelligence predict
that over the next 15
years China may
increase the number of
warheads aimed at U.S.
Targets from 20 to
between 75-100 site. In
the next decade, China
will likely make its most
rapid headway in the
development of ballistic
missiles.
Russia Effect of Nuclear Weapons
 Russia is currently
estimated to have
about 5,000 strategic
nuclear warheads plus
3,400 tactical nuclear
weapons.
India Effect Of Nuclear Weapons
 India is generally
estimated to have
about 60 nuclear
warheads and enough
plutonium to
manufacture to add
30-50 more warheads.
Iraq
 Saddam Hussein did not
possess stockpiles of illegal
weapons at the time of the
U.S. invasion in March
2003 and had not begun
any program to produce
them.
Foreign Policy
 President George W. Bush has
singled out terrorist nuclear
attacks on the United States as
the defining threat the nation will
face in the foreseeable future. In
addressing this specter, he has
asserted that Americans' "highest
priority is to keep terrorists from
acquiring weapons of mass
destruction.
 " So far, however, his words have
not been matched by deeds. The
Bush administration has yet to
develop a strategy for combating
the threat of nuclear terror.
The Bigger Threat?
 The United States stated on
February 26, 2003 that
North Korea had reactivated
a reactor at its main nuclear
complex.
 The Korea is a big threat to
American cause they
develop the nuclear weapon
and have Enriched uranium

Burnt To Ashes.
 Victims of
Hiroshima.

IEarn
 “How do you feel about
nuclear weapons.”
 Nuclear weapons are
another absurd because
nowadays everyone knows
that it is a loss for the world.
The nuclear atoms don’t
have end and continue
causing a loss not only in
one person but in many
generations. Finally, they
takeaway the freedom of
the person to be alive or
dead

Thermonuclear Expulsion

 This is appearance of a
thermonuclear weapon detonation
from many miles away.
