Imagine a nuclear explosion occurs in Seoul; then let's think what will happen. There are four major steps that we can expect: thermal radiation, rear blast, first-fallout, second-fallout. First step is thermal radiation. Everything evaporates within the point of explosion. Temporarily, strong heat and light is released at the point of explosion. This step is very fast, so victims cannot feel death. Second step is rear blast. After the explosion, rear blast occurs condensing and exploding the oxygen. More than 90% of buildings will be destroyed within 30Km radius. 2 million people are instantly killed and also another 2 million people are killed within 1 minute. Next step is first-fallout. There will be cloudy ash falling like snow. First-fallout is massive radioactive contamination. After exposure to first-fallout, victim will be death within 6 months. Then there is second-fallout. Second-fallout is small and light ashes which will be spread in the surrounding area. Finally, radioactive contamination is spread near the nuclear explosions. Radioactive materials have very long half-life, so it can't be disappear. Radioactive materials cause harmful in the ecosystem, spreading in the ground and air. In conclusion, those who suffer damage caused by radiation will die in pain due to the serious damage.
Hi this is MinKyong Sohn and it's my feedback on your writing.
ReplyDeleteThroughout your work I learned a lot what happens when the nuclear bomb goes off. This is because you gave us enough background informations. And the time order is very clear, I like it. But I think it would be better if you focused more on what would happen in "Seoul". You started your paragraph with that topic and metioned not a thing about seoul. Removing seoul part from your topic sentence would be the best way.
Anyway great job!See you in the class!
Hi
ReplyDeleteYour topic was very interesting.
However it would have been more realistic if you
added some live details within the aftermath of nuclear explosion.
What I like about this piece of writing is that you organized the
steps of the explosion very well.
But as I said before, more detalized examples and consequences of the disaster will make your writing more full.
For instance, you can divide the effects of Nuclear explosion in to various perspectives: social, political, and economical.
In addition you can add nuclear winter or the effects of radiation.
Thank you.
Simulate Process: Nuclear Explosions in Seoul
ReplyDeleteImagine a nuclear explosion occurs in Seoul City Hall, and then let’s think what will happen. There are four major steps that we can expect: thermal radiation, rear blast, first-fallout, second-fallout. First step is thermal radiation. Everything evaporates within the point of explosion. Temporarily, strong heat and light is released at the point of explosion. This step is very fast, so victims cannot feel death. The Seoul station, Dongdaemun, Gyeongbokgung is completely evaporated. Second step is rear blast. After the explosion, rear blast occurs condensing and exploding the oxygen. Rear blast can reach Suwon near Seoul. Because of rear blast, more than 90% of buildings will be destroyed within 30Km radius. 2 million people are instantly killed and also another 2 million people are killed within 1 minute. Next step is first-fallout. There will be cloudy ash falling like snow. First-fallout is massive radioactive contamination. After exposure to first-fallout, victim will be death within 6 months. First-fallout is spread across Gyeonggi Province. Then there is second-fallout. Second-fallout is small and light ashes which will be spread in the surrounding area. Second-fallout flies to Japan. Finally, radioactive contamination is spread near the nuclear explosions. Radioactive materials have very long half-life, so it can’t be disappear. Radioactive materials cause harmful in the ecosystem, spreading in the ground and air. In conclusion, those who suffer damage caused by radiation will die in pain due to the serious damage. Due to radioactive contamination, congenital anomaly, deadly cancer, and immune system diseases can be caused. If the nuclear bomb was detonated in Seoul, more than 10 million people will die. South Korea’s economic and social bases will be collapse and Koreans will live in harsh conditions.
