United States, Russia, United KIngdom, France, China, India PAkistan, Israel and North Korea

If countries like Iran and Iraq had access to Nuclear weapons it would be very bad because the first place that they would target is Israel and because the United States protects Israel i feel like we would go into a all out war. It would be very bad and escalate very quickly.

Radiation exposure has been associated with most forms of leukaemia, as well as cancer of the thyroid, lung and breast.

CHART 1 – EFFECTS OF RADIONUCLIDES

Radionuclide | Half-life* | Health hazards

Xenon
(Xe)

6.7 hours

Inhalation in excessive concentrations can result in dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, and death. At low oxygen concentrations, unconsciousness and death may occur in seconds without warning.

Americium-241
(241Am)

432 years

Moves rapidly through the body after ingestion and is concentrated within the bones for a long period of time. During this storage americium will slowly decay and release radioactive particles and rays. These rays can cause alteration of genetic materials and bone cancer.

Iodine-131
(131I)

8 days

When present in high levels in the environment from radioactive fallout, I-131 can be absorbed through contaminated food. It also accumulates in the thyroid gland, where it can destroy all or part of the thyroid. May cause damage to the thyroid as it decays. Thyroid cancer may occur.

Caesium-137
(137Cs)

30 years

After entering the body, caesium is distributed fairly uniformly through the body, with higher concentration in muscle tissue and lower concentration in bones. Can cause gonadal irradiation and genetic damage.

Krypton-85
(85Kr)

10.76 years

Inhalation in excessive concentrations can result in dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, and death.

Strontium-90
(90Sr)

28 years

A small amount of strontium 90 is deposited in bones and bone marrow, blood and soft tissues when ingested. Can cause bone cancer, cancer of nearby tissues, and leukaemia.

Plutonium-239
(239Pu)

24,400 years

Released when a plutonium weapon is exploded. Ingestion of even a miniscule quantity is a serious health hazard and can cause lung, bone, and liver cancer. The highest doses are to the lungs, the bone marrow, bone surfaces, and liver.

Tritium
(3H)

12 years

Easily ingested. Can be inhaled as a gas in the air or absorbed through the skin. Enters soft tissues and organs. Exposure to tritium increases the risk of developing cancer. Beta radiation emitted by tritium can cause lung cancer.

My viewpoint on the video is that there is alot of nuclear explosions from the US we have the strongest nuclear power abilities and it puts us on top and makes other countries respect us.

80,000 - People who died instantly in Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, when the first ever atomic bomb was used in war. The code name of the uranium-based bomb was "Little Boy."

192,020 - Total number of those killed in Hiroshima, combining those killed instantly and those killed from radiation and other aftermath. The revised total was released at a ceremony on the 50th anniversary of the bombing.

3 - Number of days between the first and second atomic bombs dropped on Japan. On August 9, 1945, "an implosion-model plutonium bomb code-named "Fat Man," was detonated over Nagasaki.

More than 70,000 - Number of people killed instantly in Nagasaki by the bomb.

5 - Number of days after the bombing of Nagasaki that Emperor Hirohito announced Japan's acceptance of the terms of the Postdam Declaration

Short term effects: radiation got to many people in small amounts and only one person developed leukemia.

Long term effects: once the radiation is released in the air there is always radiation there afterwards

# data[].attributes.body
Short term effects: 203 people were hospitalized immediately, of whom 31 died (28 of them died from acute radiation exposure)

Long term effects: Over 300000 people were effeced over time because of this accident

# data[].attributes.body
Short term effects: There were no injuries or detectable health impacts from the accident, beyond the initial stress.

Long term: more cautions are now taken to make sure that this does not happen

Physicist Enrico Fermi discovered the potential of nuclear fission in 1934, when he bombarded uranium atoms with neutrons

The science of atomic radiation, atomic change and nuclear fission was developed from 1895 to 1945, much of it in the last six of those years.

Over 1939-45, most development was focused on the atomic bomb.

From 1945 attention was given to harnessing this energy in a controlled fashion for naval propulsion and for making electricity.

Since 1956 the prime focus has been on the technological evolution of reliable nuclear power plants.
