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.

4
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

6
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.

7
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.

8
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.

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.

11
Russia Effect of Nuclear Weapons

• Russia is currently estimated to have about 5,000
  strategic nuclear warheads plus 3,400 tactical
  nuclear weapons.

12
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.

13
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.

14
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.

15
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

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 dont 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

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