The nuclear bomb is one of the most deadly weapons in the world. So far, this bomb has been used twice on common people. Both times, it caused such devastation that the whole world got goosebumps. However, even after this, the race to become a nuclear power continued and today many countries have made themselves nuclear powers. In such a situation, it is natural to raise the question that if a nuclear bomb explodes near you, how can you escape from it. Especially when you are 20 km away from the place where that bomb exploded. Let us talk about this in detail in this news today.
What happens when a nuclear bomb explodes?
We do not need to imagine how dangerous a nuclear bomb can be. This is because we have seen a nuclear bomb explode and its deadly consequences. 6 and 9 august are two such dates that made the world realize a power that is almost impossible to face and escape from. On 6 august 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. On 9 august 1945, Nagasaki, japan was attacked with an atomic bomb. 140,000 people were killed in the Hiroshima attack. 74,000 people lost their lives in the Nagasaki attack. Apart from this, the radiation that spread in the entire area after the atomic bomb exploded made the local people sick for many years.
How far is an atomic bomb lethal?
The "Little Boy" atomic bomb that was used to attack Hiroshima had the power of 12,000 to 15,000 tons of TNT and it completely destroyed an area of 13 square kilometers. If this bomb had been bigger, the destruction caused by it would have been even more widespread. Now let's come to our real question, if a person is 20 km away from the place where the atomic bomb exploded, can his life be saved? If the nuclear bomb is as big as Little Boy, then his life can be saved. However, if the bomb is even slightly bigger than this, then your life can be in danger. In such a situation, you should go to a safe place. For example, hide in a nuclear bomb survival bunker or go to a place which is in the basement. Like a metro station with a basement or any such place. Do not stay in or inside a tall building even by mistake. This is because the impact of a nuclear bomb attack is so dangerous that even the biggest building collapses due to it.
