“The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker” (Einstein, 1945). Einstein thinks that Nuclear energy knowledge are able to change the world for better than before because it can produce the energy more easily. Also, he know that nuclear energy knowledge has trouble aspects that may people exploit it to hurt other people. Nevertheless, what distinguishes…

there have been 44 disaster declarations, 6 emergency declarations, and 33 fire management assistance declarations across the United States.
