cleaning the environment from these chemicals can be costly. The Army Corps of Engineers were also in charge of the Manhattan Project. The goal of this mission was to create nuclear weapons and the operation was set up in Oak Ridge. After building the bomb, Americans decided to test the bomb and Trinity was the name of the first nuclear test. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Japan to surrender and end the war. After the war, Americans weren’t satisfied. They saw weapons as tool of…
World War 3 the nuclear war Backstory Year 2030, President Harmony Clifton was at her desk reading her schedule for the week.

radiation exposure. Three days later a second deployed bomb was dropped on Nagasaki killing an estimated, forty thousand people.

which might spread throughout all the uranium present (Rinkesh).

For military use, nuclear energy could be used to create atomic bombs. The trinity test and the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 to end World War 2…
wind power are among the most commonly cited solutions, but there is another alternative. Nuclear power, an emission-free and efficient source of energy, should be strongly considered as an alternative to fossil fuels. Nuclear power is often unfairly maligned and…
