Nuclear Bomb

A nuclear bomb is a powerful weapon that releases energy through a process called nuclear fission, where the nuclei of certain atoms, like uranium or plutonium, split into smaller parts. This splitting releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of an explosion, along with heat and radiation. The energy from a nuclear blast can cause widespread destruction, intense heat, and long-lasting radiation effects. Nuclear bombs are highly destructive and dangerous, and their use has serious ethical, environmental, and global security implications.
