Introduction of nuclear weapons
- Nuclear weapons or atomic bombs are the outcomes of nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reactions. The first experiment on hydrogen bomb took place in earlier 1930s. By the menace that took place in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United Nations Organization was founded with an intention to preserve peace and common brotherhood in the world. The main objective of the UNO is to stop the wars between the nations and nuclear disarmaments.
- Recently, North Korea declared that they are conducting experiments on nuclear weapons and revealed the number of nuclear missiles and weapons they have. Their moves seemed a call for the war with the United States of America. The American President passed a declaration about financial restrictions to be imposed on North Korea if they move further with the experiments on nuclear weapons.
The scenario of nuclear disarmament
- Last year, the chief of NATO military predicted that there was 10 percent chance for the United States to enter into Nuclear Conflict with North Korea. In the Indian Scenario, the government declared that they conducted experiments on nuclear weapons with a mission to establish peace in the world in 1974. This mission was called as “smiling Buddha” at that time.
- During the 1970s, the United States promoted the study and experiments on nuclear weapons under the mask of Study of Physics to precede its opponent Russia, the Soviet Union then. However, The Treaty for Non-Proliferation came into existence to support nuclear disarmament. India denied this treaty on account of arrogant moves of its neighbors Pakistan and China.
- According to the statistics, United Nations of America, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, France, United Kingdom and North Korea agreed about the possession of nuclear arms. Israel is suspected to have nuclear weapons, but disagreed about the statistics adhering to the norms of internal security. Reports reveal that 20 nuclear weapons are detonated around the world as parts of experiments and 10 percent of electricity in the United States of America was produced from a disassembled atomic bomb during the Russia warheads until 2013.
Key Points
- According to the Stockholm University, nine nations possess a total of 16,300 nuclear weapons. Currently, Belgium, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and Turkey share nuclear weapons with the USA. These nations are called nuclear weapon hosting nations. Nuclear weapon hosting means, the countries cannot detonate the nuclear weapons without the issue of the special secret security code by the United States of America. Germany conducted nuclear explosive experiments on their own earlier, but renounced the process later.
- Another shocking fact is that the funding for experimenting with nuclear explosives in the United States of America does not come from United States Department of Defense, but from Department of Energy.
- A survey by Dr. Louise Reiss in 1961 on chemical content on baby teeth revealed that nuclear explosive tests have the worst impact on the growth of teeth and bones on newborn babies and leave hazardous results on pregnant women. With these results, most of the nations decided to restrict the number, intensity, and magnitude of nuclear weapon experiments.
- Sources prove that the documents showing Iraq conducting nuclear tests and possess nuclear arms are fake ones and the culprit is still absconding. These facts show what impact nuclear explosives leave on future generations physically, mentally and emotionally.
list of countries with Nuclear Weapons
- The United States :- 5400
- Russia:- 6000
- France:- 300
- China:- 350
- The United Kingdom:- 120
- India:- 160
- Pakistan:- 165
- Israel :- 20
- North Korea:- 30-40
Conclusion:
- The government of United States of America still pays compensation for survivors of Bikini Atoll after their nuclear experiments there. This is an instance that reveals the perilous effects of nuclear weapons on mankind. The nuclear weapons created for defending a nation may lead to the destruction of the entire world. The UNO is working on prevention of use and production of nuclear weapons, but most of the nations need to accept the treaty for nuclear disarmament till date.
