Once again 28th May reminds us the destruction of our people by an
explosion of the atomic Bomb which was carried out on May 28, 1998 in
Chagai, Baochistan by Pakistani government for taking a simple test of
it. Let me start from introducing the “Nuclear Bomb”.
The detonation
of a single nuclear bomb or “warhead” would cause a local disaster on a
scale that few people in the world have seen and survived. However, it
should not be confused with the effects of a nuclear war, in which many
nuclear bombs would be exploded. That would cause the end of
civilization in the countries concerned, and perhaps over the whole
world, as well as radioactive contamination of whole continents, and
terrible damage to the environment and ecology.
The effect of a
single bomb would depend on its power, and where it exploded — high in
the air or at ground level — and whether in a densely populated and
built-up area like a city or in open country like an attack on a missile
silo.
A nuclear weapon is not just a big bomb.
