I've just lost a whole post that I typed... although I'll put the main ponts here...
Anyone who believes that a nuclear weapon could be dropped in south korea without affecting north korea needs their head checking...
indeed... as brookfield pointed out above, when chernobyl exploded an atomic cloud stretches as far as sweeden italy and the north of the UK...
the north of the UK is some 2000 miles away from chernobly, (on the border of balarus, Ukraine and russia).
that means that there was an affected region of 39,438,400 square miles! (thirthy nine million square miles), the sheep in scotland on some 300 farms are still having to be tested for radiation before they can enter the human food chain...
just to add to my posting above Einstein not only knew that nuclear weapons were used in WWII he actually worked on the manhaten project developing them.
the effective danger area is 28,000km^2, (that the evactuated area around the power station, that is still evacuated today).
Nuclear weapons are measure in megatons, the bomb little boy was about 19 (I think), the chernobyl power station was about 400 times as strong as this. (not difficult with improvements in technolgy).
a megaton is the amount of energy equivellant to a million tons of TNT...
I dread to think how powerful a bomb would have to be to blow up a mountain...
perhaps some of you actually need to realise the devestation effects that these bomb can have? instead of that cavaleir attitude that we could destroy all their mountains and they are safe to fire off a missile to south korea...
re firing rockets to south korea from north korea, reading what I said about the spread of radiation.
I found that out on thei internet from publically available sources in about ten minutes... how long do you think it'll take te scientists to come to the same conclusion that they cannot bomb south Korea without feeling some irradiating effects?
