REMEMBERING THE NUCLEAR MARTYRS: HIROSHIMA & NAGASAKI ATTACKS

REMEMBERING THE NUCLEAR MARTYRS: HIROSHIMA & NAGASAKI ATTACKS

I dedicate this post to all those who, even though were innocent, still suffer the greatest curse of all times- The victims of the Hiroshima & Nagasaki nuclear attacks. It has been more than 6 long decades now when mankind confronted its darkest day following the rage of revenge over the Pearl Harbor attack in the USA- The Hiroshima & Nagasaki nuclear attacks. Japan faces the curse even today and the suit will continue in future as well.

TECHNICAL ASPECT:

It was on 6^th August, 1945 that the "Little Boy" wrecked havoc in the city of Hiroshima. It was a nuclear bomb weighing 600 kg and could result in a destruction approximately equal to the explosion 17-19 kilotons of TNT. It gained this immense power from the nuclear fission reaction of U₂₃₅- an isotope of Uranium.
