About nuclear bomb,why is it dangerous?

Answer 1

kill all. is not enough?

Answer 2

Ummm...what's so dangerous? Well, the blast itself is pretty horrible, not to mention the thermal and nuclear radiation.

"The blast effect of an atomic bomb is similar to that of a conventional explosive but much more intense and far-reaching.

"Thermal radiation, which results from the extremely high temperatures created by an atomic explosion, causes serious burns on exposed parts of the body and may ignite fires over a wide radius.

"Nuclear radiation, which results from the neutrons and gamma rays associated with fission, causes death and injury as a result of damage to living tissue."

All of this will happen to unprotected people within about a mile radius of the explosion...

Answer 3

The nuclear bomb isn't dangerous at all. If no one bothered it, then the bomb would just sit there happy as could be. The danger is only with the fools who get their hands on "the red buttons" which launch them (not all who wield this power are fools) by controlling a country (from North Korea tyrant to Iranian dictator to European Prime Minister to US president).

So perhaps you are interested in the mechanics of the damage, no? When the hydrogen bomb goes off, energy is dispersed radially in the form of a conventional explosion, a fissile explosion, and a fusion explosion: each being trivial compared to the next in order. Radiation carries most of the energy.

In mid-air, the radiation overloads electrical systems (EMP), burns the surfaces of materials and slices through DNA to create all kinds of defects (usually cancer). When the radiation hits the ground, the rock vaporizes with an explosion of its own. As the surrounding atmosphere heats, it expands rapidly (explodes) also, and this yields the potential of ejecting a portion of the atmosphere for any elevation of a mid-air detonation (not good for anybody on the earth).

In a ground detonation, most of the energy transforms into ground shock as a large amount of rock is vaporized which destroys objects upon and especially within (nuclear missile sites) the crust with an incredibly large, fast, and sharp "vibrations." The remaining radiation vaporizes rock in the vicinity to create strong winds which level surface structures.

PS: don't believe everything you read in the previous answer as much of it is from popular science sources (aimed at the general public to excite their imaginations with half-truths).

.. and I must comment on the "not being warfare" nonsense of the previous answer: Warfare is the act of destroying your enemy. Even with the rifle, the soldier who dies from its bullet can't surrender, but the point of warfare is not surrender, but destruction. The motives for waging war range widely, among which surrender is only one (control of resources or land is another and retaliation is yet another).

Answer 4

nuclear bombs are dangerous coz they release a hell lotta energu in the form of heat waves and radioactivity when they denonate

also their after effects are very dangerous
when a area becomes a victim of a nuclear bomb, many genarations of the victims are born deformed

also the radioactivti spreads to a large area and its hard to clean it up.

Answer 5

Actually it's a good question...

When the radiation from the nuclear falls down onto u....it will eat up your skin....
so it'll be a very very slow painful death........

Thta's why it's dangerous

Answer 6

Its dangerous in the hands of psycos

Answer 7

it can cause nuclear warfare and us americans are not afraid to use it on someone

Answer 8

Because it makes a loud noise, and that scares people. Sometimes they even die!

Answer 9

among other neat things, it coverts matter into pure energy, which will really ruin your day.

Answer 10

Radio active particals never go away and cause poisoning and cancer.

Answer 11

You're kidding us, right.
Goes BIG boom--we all die. the end.
