nuclear weapon

A weapon that manipulates the natural alterations of an atom's nucleus to release indescribable amounts of uncontrolled energy in the form of an explosion. Nuclear weapons come in two forms, they are listed in order of energy here.
1. Nuclear fusion: modeled after the reaction that takes place in the sun, it uses tremendous amounts of heat to provide the fusing of lighter nuclei, often Deuterium (or H-2), to form a larger, heavier nucleus, which is, if Deuterium is used, often Hydrogen-4. However the heat used is tremendous, often up to 10,000,000 degrees Celcius. To provide this awesome heat, a small amount of nuclear fission is needed. These fusion explosives are called thermonuclear weapons, and are often compared to MILLIONS of tons of TNT exploding (megatons). Naturally, it does not release any

2. Nuclear fission: does not happen naturally, and is 1/800th the power of a nuclear fusion reaction. It involves the firing of a "neutron bullet" at an atom with an atomic number greater than 91, at which point it splits into two lighter elements, such as U-235 splitting into Krypton-92 and Barium-141, releasing an extra two neutrons, plus the one used to split it. These neutrons move with such speed as to split apart more nuclei. More than a million reactions can happen in a split second, this is called the nuclear chain reaction. These individual atoms release energy that is often compared, in weapons, to tens up to hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT. Nuclear reactions, as these are called, result in the release of deadly radioactive material.

Many countries have nuclear weapons, and the greatest threat to mankind is a nuclear war, which could ultimately result in the destruction of all humans. However, although it may seem that God does not intervene in any major way, I am positive that He would not let such a thing happen.

nuclear weapons

Weapons of mass destruction that cause a chain reaction by splitting the nucleas of an uranium atom, thus causing two particles to fly out, that cause two other uranium atoms to become unstable and change into another element because they have an extra particle. This causes each of those two to fire off two particles each, and so the chain continues. This rapid expansion will eventually move onto the area surrounding it, and destroy it by means of reacting with it. Of course, in the time it has taken you to read this, a nuclear weapon, some as small as 11 inches could have scorched hundreds of miles worth of land surrounding it
