Nuclear Bomb

National News: If an atomic bomb explodes anywhere, it destroys the entire area. In 1945, 2.10 lakh people died in Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan due to the atomic attack. More than one lakh people became disabled, but do you know that after the Hiroshima attack, 2059 atomic explosions have taken place in the world.

According to a CNN report, the most nuclear explosions in the last 80 years have taken place in the US. After this, it has happened in Kazakhstan and then France. This nuclear explosion has taken place on 3 occasions in India. There have been reports of nuclear bomb explosions on 2 occasions in India's neighbour Pakistan.

Question- Why did this explosion happen?

The Arms Control Association says that after 1945 there was a race to make nuclear weapons all over the world. Nuclear testing program was started to make these weapons. Between 1945 and 1996 America conducted 1030 explosions. Currently America has 3900 nuclear weapons.

After America, Russia also started conducting nuclear explosions in the name of testing. Russia conducted the maximum number of nuclear explosions in Kazakhstan. Russia conducted nuclear explosions for the first time around 1950. Russia has more than 4100 nuclear weapons.

Global Nuclear Tests And Arsenal

France has conducted 210 nuclear explosions so far. All these explosions were done as a test. China and Britain have conducted 45 explosions each. North Korea was the last to test its weapons through a nuclear explosion.

China has 600 nuclear weapons while India has 180. Pakistan has 150 nuclear weapons and North Korea has 50 nuclear weapons.

Where did these nuclear explosions take place?

The US has carried out more than 1,000 of its nuclear tests in Nevada, the Marshall Islands and the central Pacific Ocean. Similarly, Russia has tested its nuclear weapons in Kazakhstan and the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Arctic Ocean.

Britain tested its weapons in Australia and the Kiritimati Islands in the Pacific Ocean, while France conducted explosions in Algeria and French Polynesia. China conducted its nuclear test at Lop Nur, a remote desert site in western Xinjiang province. India's nuclear test was conducted in Pokhran and Pakistan's in Balochistan. North Korea conducted its nuclear test on an island adjacent to China.

The effects of the explosion are slowly taking their toll

Most of the nuclear tests have been done either in sand or in water. Years later, its effects are now visible. In Kazakhstan, 12 lakh people have applied for compensation. These people say that their future generations will also suffer from this explosion.

America shifted the people of Marshall Islands to other places. Despite this, 27 thousand people are suffering from this. France even apologized to the people of Algeria. French President Emmanuel Macron said that the people here will always be indebted to Algeria.

These nuclear explosions are also affecting climate change. Scientists are now calculating whether these explosions have caused an increase in temperature and if yes, then how much?
