The purpose of this manual is to provide a guide to assist commanders in developing the firing and the assembly and transport elements of Honest John units whenever equipped with the lightweight XM33 launcher into efficient teams capable of operating effectively under combat conditions. The material...
During each hurricane season, there always appear suggestions that one should simply use nuclear weapons to try and destroy the storms. Apart from the fact that this might not even alter the storm, this approach neglects the problem that the released radioactive fallout would fairly quickly move ...
Nuclear fallout is white and it looks like snow. It got into the water systems and into the ground. This meant that the water and the food were all radioactive. Many people developed cancer。and babies were born deformed.The radioactive waste travelled over a huge are a and into other ...
For example, Chernobyl, in the Ukraine, is one of the most popular dark destinations. When its nuclear reactor(核反应堆)exploded in 1984, it released a radioactive(放射性的)cloud so devastating that the surrounding area will remain uninhabitable(不适宜居住的)for 20,000 years. Despite the de...
What's more, nuclear power plants can "meltdown," which poses a potentially catastrophic risk to humans. Thebiggest nuclear meltdown in history, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power PlantinUkraine, blanketed the surrounding area in radioactive fallout that made an 18-mile-wide (30 kilometers) area ...
Tactical nuclear weapons, by design, do not have as much radioactive fallout, since they are used against a specific target, but there is still some fallout. Nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein has built a simulation calledNukeMapto estimate the effects of nuclear strikes. According to NukeMap, ...

The 1986 Chernobyl accident resulted in one of the highest unintentional releases of radioactivity in history. The graphite moderator of reactor 4 was exposed to air and ignited, shooting plumes of radioactive fallout across what is now Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, and Europe. While few people live...
The Chernobyl accidenr of 1986 caused radioactive contamination of widespread areas of reindeer pasture in Scandinavia. Reindeer {Rangifer tarandus) are especially exposed to radioactive fallout due to their wintet diet, of which lichens are an important part. Much knowledge about the transfer of ...
