Detailed explanation-1: -In August 1945 atomic bombs were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, hastening the end of the Second World War and heralding the birth of the atomic age.
Detailed explanation-2: -A nuclear weapon is a device that uses a nuclear reaction to create an explosion. This explosion is much more powerful than that of conventional explosives (like TNT). When a nuclear weapon explodes, it gives off four types of energy: a blast wave, intense light, heat, and radiation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The use of atomic weapons changed the nature of war, altered the balance of power and began the nuclear age. The dropping of the atomic bombs in Japan is considered the beginning of the nuclear age. The use of these bombs introduced a new type of weapon capable of mass destruction.
Detailed explanation-4: -The dangers from such weapons arise from their very existence. Although nuclear weapons have only been used twice in warfare-in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945-about 13, 400 reportedly remain in our world today and there have been over 2, 000 nuclear tests conducted to date.
