Answer:

The radioactive pollution is defined as the physical pollution of living organisms and their environment as a result of release of radioactive substances into the environment during nuclear explosions and testing of nuclear weapons, nuclear weapon production and decommissioning, mining of radioactive ores, handling and disposal of radioactive waste, and accidents at nuclear power plants. Nuclear tests are carried out to determine the effectiveness, yield, and explosive capability of nuclear weapons. The proportion of radioactive pollution is 15% of the total energy of the explosion. Radioactive pollution of water, water sources, and air space is the result of radioactive fallout from the cloud of a nuclear explosion. Radionuclides are the main sources of pollution; they emit beta particles and gamma rays, radioactive substances.

Answer:

  • One of the most important and dangerous types of pollution is ‘nuclear  pollution’.
  • ‘Nuclear pollution’ is produced by nuclear explosion which are carried out for performing nuclear tests and which is further used for making  nuclear weapons.
  • Due to these explosions about 15 to 25% of the radioactive  particles enter into the atmosphere.
  • Once they enter into the atmosphere they  continue to fall on the earth for several years.
  • The best example is the Hiroshima  Atomic Bombings.
