Nuclear fission bombs, such as the one shown in this clip, use uranium 235, uranium 233 or plutonium 239. Unlike most atoms, the atoms of uranium and plutonium are relatively easy to split, and when split emit the lethal form of radiation called gamma radiation. Exposure can cause most types of cancer, particularly breast and thyroid cancer. It can weaken the immune system, cause hypothyroidism and alter a person’s DNA code, causing birth defects in future offspring.
