THE DEVELOPMENT of technology has brought the world in various directions. Chemical weapons, such as atomic bombs and nuclear bombs, are no exception. At first glance, these two bombs are similar, but they are different.
Atomic bombs are made with an impact that is not as big as nuclear bombs because basically atomic bombs only provide nuclear fission reactions, namely a reaction of splitting a heavy and unstable nuclear nucleus into two lighter nuclear nuclei, and provide electromagnetic radiation effects, alpha to gamma rays which have bad effects on human life.
But as stated, the explosion of an atomic bomb is smaller because the explosion range of an atomic bomb usually has a range limitation.
Unlike nuclear bombs that have a wider explosion range of up to tens to hundreds of kilometers from the center of the explosion. The chemicals contained in nuclear bombs are much different from atomic bombs.
Where nuclear bombs contain nuclear fission and fusion reactions, namely the combination of two light nuclear nuclei to create a heavy nuclear nucleus and release greater energy.
Nuclear bombs can also be called hydrogen or thermonuclear bombs. Nuclear bombs have side effects such as ionizing reactions, namely damage to human body cells to radiation trauma that causes death.
Despite having two different explosions, both bombs are still two dangerous ones. Especially when facing humans because the side effects can be damaging and even deadly. (Z-3)
