Assalamualaikum and greetings, dear friends and visitor.
My name is Zaharudin bin Mansuri, 20 years old, a final year student at KPMIM.
This blog was written in order to complete the task for subject ITE 3563-Digital and Mobile Communication and gain knowledge regarding the topic of nuclear energy.
The objective of this blog is:-
To give an overview of the nuclear history to the readers.
To point out world's nuclear issue.
To find or discuss a good way on using the nuclear energy.
Feel free to follow and drop some comments, so that we can discuss it in a more better way.
After discussion and point out my opinion on nuclear power
and its capability, now I will list out the impact of nuclear usage in this
world. There are four points to be highlight in this post. First one is the
nuclear power starts the arms race between the veto nations. This is proved
when after the end of World War Two, the allies especially United States of
America and Soviet Union has extensively power up their nuclear project and
starting to develop the nuclear weapon. Other veto countries like Britain,
France and China also starting to follow them in terms of developing a nuclear
arsenal capability. This trend can be shown below:-

nuclear weapon arsenal since 1946-2007.
Second impact that can be list down is the possibility of
nuclear winter. Nuclear winter is a climatic effect of nuclear war (Slanina,
2012). This could be happen if the veto powers like United States and Russia go
to war against each other. A brief view about the nuclear winter can be seen in
the media below:-
Third impact of the nuclear usage on this world is the
misuse of nuclear energy by creating WOMD would bring catastrophic consequences.
By having the nuclear winter, annihilation of mankind is certain. This is
possible because the atomic detonation will expose millions of human and
animals to radiation, extensive amount of heat produce by the blast, and
radioactive pollution in plants and food.
The last impact that can be seen is the long term repair of
nuclear incident. This situation really use high amount of cost, in terms of
workers, materials, money and time. For example, the atomic bomb at Hiroshima
and Nagasaki. The radiation was polluted both area for 10 years and completely
gone in 1955 and 1956. Another example is Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The
incident consuming 79 years of clean up operation, 700 000 workers and $15
billion in cash.
In conclusion, the misuse of nuclear energy can be
devastating and deadly to the world, especially the mankind. The history shows
that the nuclear energy is far worse than its efficiency for supplying the
human needs in electricity and other type of energy. The usage for military
purpose is one a great development in its history and the people only know
nuclear energy from it also. This is a negative impact for the nuclear energy
and the technology only drives it more deadly than before.
