nuclear bomb is very powerful because it is a fission process,
as in a spliting process. nuclear bombs can be make up of uranium
element and from 1 it split into 2 and each go split another 2 into
4 and 4 into 8 and so on and so forth.
Even if you dont kanna bomb to death by the explosion, you will
suffer the effects of the radiation / ionization. The explosion it
self may be quite large and the shockwave of the explosion, I think
can level the whole of orchard, or rather you can feel it.
The radiation coming from the nuclear weapon is even more
dangerous and can travel much further. Radiation like gamma rays
and x rays are dangerous and you can die from too much of them.
Speaking about missile aiming at the bomb will detonate the bomb
probably in the atmosphere, that is worst because all the gases or
wat will clog the atmosphere and the radiation will reach the earth
surface must easily.
Therefore nuclear weapon is the ultimate weapon. Therefore
everyone is stopping north korea from possessing such things. One
of those would be able to kill millions. Btw, the energy of one
nuclear bomb is equivalent to several million tons of TNT
(trinitrotoluene). It takes just one nuclear bomb to stop WWII.
Imagine with the technology now, how powerful will the nuclear bomb
be.
Therefore, dont play play.
That is if it's a fission type bomb, of course, for the suicidal
maniacs out there, they would use the fusion bomb which is
worse.
