__The Cloud, Fat Man, From Nagasaki__

Nuclear weapons are very dangerous weapons to deal with. As seen throughout these wikis, atomic bombs can cause massive damage to cities, destroying everything near the detonation point. They can cause thousands of deaths plus countless injuries, and pose life-long disabilities, such as cancer. But what would happen if something like Hiroshima happened again? This kind of attack has not happened since then but several different countries have developed their own weapons to use. The countries include the United States, North Korea, Russia, Britain, France, China, India, and Pakistan (Wright and Bourassa). These bombs that have been developed are much stronger then the Hiroshima and Nagasaki ones, so they would cause even more damage to the selected dentonation spot.

What would happen if a nuclear weapon was dropped in our country? It would be the worst attack ever to happen to our country if that happened. These weapons should never be used again because of their devstating effects. As discussed throughout these wikis, it shows how nuclear weapons can destroy lives and the reasons for dropping an atomic weapon can seem pretty unclear. If this were ever to happen again, it would just be worse then before. There should be a disposal of nuclear weapons because what happened at Hiroshima should never have happened in the first place.
