Nuclear Weapons In Fahrenheit 451, By Ray Bradbury

Nuclear weaponry is subtly executed in the plot of Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. Such as in the parts where it is stated that a war has begun, and where the plot concludes as the entire city is bombed from a distant view that is perceived from Guy Montag. Nuclear weaponry is becoming a more apparent subject in modern day society. The creation of nuclear weapons dates back all the way to 1941. Nuclear weapons have been executed on certain countries in historical times, however, contemporary nuclear weapons render an unimaginable amount of power that have catastrophic abilities if they are ever implemented onto the surface of our planet. Nuclear weapons have the power to globally distort agriculture, climates, and infrastructures. Due to

Over 120,000 individuals were involved with the Manhattan project. The Manhattan Project was initiated as a result of fear that the Axis powers had availability towards nuclear technology. As scientists Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi had escaped Axis territory, their priority was warning the United States government about the probability of the Axis powers possessing these implausible weapons. The equipment created from the Manhattan Project was tested at Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16th, 1945. Homes that were past the 100 mile radius from the blast reported that their windows were either broken or completely destroyed. While at the time the Manhattan Project was a covert operation, a story was projected to the public that an ammunition dump had exploded. As time passed, soon leaked information reached the president of Germany. The conflict oriented around the possession of nuclear weapons around World War II created the nuclear

Nuclear weapons have only been used practically twice in history, which occurred in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. From the nuclear weapons being executed on the two Japanese cities, over 210,000 casualties were reported. If nuclear weapons were ever used in modern day, the result would be globally catastrophic. As contemporary nukes are more powerful and have bigger abilities, their effects could put billions at risk of famine and death. Nuclear energy can completely disrupt agricultures and environments. If the environment was exposed to even a relatively small nuclear weapon, studies show that devastating effects would take place against the world’s climate and decade long lasting effects on the ecosystems of the Earth. A small perception that can be used to see the effects of nuclear energy being exposed to the environment is the Chernobyl Disaster of 1986. To this day, there are still no inhabitants of the exposed areas inside Chernobyl, Ukraine, as those exposed can experience heavy vulnerabilities to cancer, diseases, and death. Just from the small accident in Chernobyl, there are still modern effects of the disaster. Things like birth defects, sights of mutated organisms, and sicknesses are still reported as a result from the mass leak of radiation. Having these effects on a regional, national, or
