By nuclear weapon we mean a device that is designed so that it can release a huge amount of energy in an explosive way as a result of nuclear fission, nuclear fusion or a combination of these two processes. A fission weapon is usually called an atomic bomb. Fusion weapons are called thermonuclear bombs or, more commonly, hydrogen bombs. The destructive power of nuclear weapons is measured in kilotons, so in the case of an atomic bomb, each unit is equal to the explosive power of 1000 tons of TNT. In contrast, the explosive power of hydrogen bombs is often expressed in megatons, each unit of which is equal to the explosive power of 1,000,000 tons of TNT. The intense explosion of this weapon leads to nuclear radiation, primarily gamma rays and neutrons, which have devastating effects on the human body. If an individual survives the devastating effect of the blast, the radiation created after the blast leads to long-term health consequences such as an increased incidence of cancer and genetic mutations. Extensive research on the impact of hydrogen and atomic bombs on the environment provides evidence that the impacts of nuclear weapons on the environment are significant. Their effects are eternal, which can be seen in the example of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Moreover, data collected from various test sites show that these territories are still under the influence of radiation and contamination. The aftermath of nuclear explosions left lasting scars on both the planet and its inhabitants, raising profound ethical and moral questions about the use of such destructive force.
