Nuclear Weapons On Flowvellane

The effects of nuclear weapons Nuclear weapons are fundamentally different from conventional weapons because of the vast amounts of energy they can release and the kinds of effects they produce, such as high temperatures and radiation. The prompt effects of a nuclear explosion and are well known through data gathered from the attacks on and, Japan; from more than 500 atmospheric and more than 1,500 underground nuclear tests conducted worldwide; and from extensive calculations and computer modeling. Longer-term effects on human health and the are less certain but have been extensively studied. The impacts of a nuclear explosion depend on many factors, including the design of the (fission or fusion) and its yield; whether the detonation takes place in the air (and at what altitude), on the surface, underground, or underwater; the meteorological and environmental conditions; and whether the target is urban, rural, or military.
