Question

Ayomic blast is the greatest imact on environment?

Answer 1

When an atomic or nuclear bomb detonates, the 1 megaton blast kills or poisons everything within a two-mile radius. The accident at the Chernobyl power plant in 1986 and the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 provide insight into the short and long-term effects of radiation and thermonuclear detonation on the environment. Radioactive particles can travel from the site of an atomic bomb explosion and contaminate the land and water for miles. Genetic mutations and disease in the generations of plants, animals and humans following contamination also occurs. Contamination remains for decades.
