Abstract

There is increased use of nuclear energy after the Second World War which results in increase in artificial radioactivity on our planet.

The objective of this article is to show the estimated amount of artificial radioactivity on earth surface and its effect by comparing it with the radioactive decay which took place in Hiroshima bombing by ‘little boy’. There is estimated amount of 100 trillion curie of radioactivity on earth surface for human use. This man made radioactivity on earth surface has capacity to change temperature of the earth by 0.97oC if heat is evenly distributed and unfortunately Hiroshima bombing did not stop but continued at rate of 39.07 ‘little boy’ bombing of the earth per second. Every second 39.07 atomic bombs of ‘little boy’ size are dropped. One can see the large amount of bombing taking place on the earth by artificial radioactivity and the bombing should be stopped and further analysis of artificial radioactivity should also be done.

Keywords: nuclear energy, radioactivity
