Abstract—Nuclear weapons have an effect on everyone in the world and even on the future generations. They affect everything from soil to peoples’ genes. This research will attempt to make readers more aware about this topic that is rarely talked about. America promotes non-proliferation but they have more than 10,000 nuclear warheads in its arsenal. Furthermore, America is the only country that has ever used nuclear weapons that was during World War 2 on Japan. This has caused more than hundreds of thousands lives be taken and the effect also can be seen until today. There are also many nuclear weapons that are produced by other main power countries such as Russia and United Kingdom. Besides, there are other new weapons that cause radiation sickness and skin burn and these have more powerful explosion than Little Boy that was dropped on Hiroshima and Fat Man that was dropped on Nagasaki. This paper will explain about type of nuclear, their process and the effect to the Earth and human.
