First Law of Thermodynamics • Energy can be transferred or transformed but it cannot be created or destroyed
Second Law of Thermodynamics • Every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy of the Universe
Nuclear Fission • Isotopes with large mass numbers are split by being struck with a neutron which releases energy and more neutrons
Nuclear Fusion • Two light isotopes are forced together at high temperatures to form a heavier nucleus and releases a large amount of energy
Three Scientific Laws There is no away (conservation of matter) You cannot get something for nothing (1st law) You cannot break even (2nd law)

Dot Diagram • Nuclear Weapons Chart • Center Dot – 3 megatons - WWII firepower
World War II • 6 years for U.S. • 100 million died Globally
Dot Diagram • Nuclear Weapons Chart • Whole Chart – 18,000 megatons (6000 WWIIs) • Top Left hand circle – 9 megatons – One Poseidon submarine (31 subs and 10 Polaris subs) • Lower left hand circle – 24 megatons – Trident Submarine • 2 squares enough to destroy all the large and medium cities in the world
Little Boy - Uranium It exploded with an energy of 16 kilotons of TNT (67 TJ). It has been estimated that 130,000 to 150,000 people had died as a result of its use by the end of December 1945
Hiroshima • The mushroom cloud over Hiroshima after the dropping of "Little Boy"
Fat Man - Plutonium It exploded with an impact of 21 kilotons of energy (75 million sticks of dynamite) An estimated 39,000 people were killed outright by the bombing at Nagasaki, and a further 25,000 were injured.Thousands more died later from related blast and burn injuries, and hundreds more from radiation illnesses from exposure to the bomb's initial radiation.
Nagasaki • Mushroom cloud from the atomic explosion over Nagasaki rising 60,000 feet into the air on the morning of August 9, 1945.
Countries with Nuclear Weapons • Red – Nuclear Powers (Big 5) • Brown – other known nuclear powers • Purple – countries who once had nuclear weapons • Yellow – countries that are suspected of developing weapons • Blue – countries that at one point had nuclear weapons or programs
