Nuclear Blast

A nuclear blast refers to the explosion resulting from a nuclear weapon detonation. This explosion occurs due to a rapid release of energy from nuclear fission (splitting atomic nuclei) or fusion (combining them). The explosion creates an intense shockwave, extreme heat, and radiation, causing widespread destruction and incidents of radiation exposure. The effects can lead to significant loss of life, long-term environmental contamination, and profound psychological impacts on affected populations. Understanding nuclear blasts emphasizes the importance of nuclear non-proliferation and the need for international cooperation to prevent the use of such devastating weapons.
