Because of the very high temperatures and pressures at ground zero, the gaseous residues of the explosion move outward. The result of these high pressures is to create a blast wave traveling several times faster than…

Another example of betrayal in the book is seen through Sanaubar abandoning Hassan and Ali. Sanaubar had a duty to both Ali and…

Franklin D. Roosevelt stated that December 7, 1941 is “a date that will live in infamy.” Two dates that will also live in infamy in regard to nuclear catastrophe are April 26, 1986 (Chernobyl) and March 11, 2011 (Fukushima). Both involve an accident at a nuclear energy facility and was rated the highest on the nuclear severity scale. Nevertheless, there was numerous differences in the causes, responses, and impact of the accident. The most prominent similarity between the Chernobyl and…
