Nuclear weapons 
 Nuclear weapons are, in sheer power, nuclear weaponis the world most destructive weapons, a small nuclear weapon can destroy a bigcity in very rare time. Defending against nuclear weapons is very difficult at last.To understand about the power of nuclear weapons, one we need to know abouthow nuclear weapons work.
Fission (Atomic weapon)
When a fission weapon explode, one type of atom(element) split into with less total mass the lost mass is transferred into energyaccording to Albert Einstein famous formula E= mc which shows that a little bitof mass is equal to a great deal of energy.Two element split in this way and each has been used to make fission weaponsthese are Uranium and plutonium.
Fusion weapon (Hydrogen bomb)
Fusion weapon are very expensive and for to built these weapons, we need very technical technology. These types of technology most get by the richest country and have advanced in technology.In fusion weapon two atom of hydrogen variant fuse together into a large atom andreleasing energy. This reaction can occur only at high temperature. Nuclear weapons include not only blast of explosion but also its radiation andheat.Heat creates very high temperature. Radiations create radiation sickness, due tothis thousand of people died in few days. These heat and radiation have long termeffect and also create health problem.
Nuclear power states
There are 9 statesi.United states (1945)ii.Russia (1949)
iii.
United Kingdom (1952)iv.France (1960)
v.
China (1964)vi.India (1974)
 
vii.Israel (1979??)viii.Pakistan (1998)ix.North Korea (2006)In which first 5 are internationally recognized and signed (NPT) and threePakistan, India, China are declared nuclear state but not signed NPT and IsraelOfficially neither confirms nor denies possessing nuclear weapons.
Use of Nuclear Weapons in World
United sate of amerce is the only state whichused atomic bomb during the war. U.S used atomic bomb in 1945 (during 2
nd
world war) on two cities of Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In these attacks asmany as 140000 people was died in Hiroshima and 80000 in Nagasaki. Accordingto fact half of people from those causalities were died in on the day of attack.Approximately 231 died due to leukemia and 334 due to solid cancer by theradiations released by nuclear bomb.Most of the people died were civilians.
Nuclear Program of Iran
Iran nuclear program was firstly launched in 1950s. United state helped Iran, as part of the
 
Atoms for Peace
 
 program. The support and encouragement of U.S andEurope was continued before Islamic revolution (at the end of government of kingshah).After Islamic revolution government temporarily disbanded nuclear program, andthen restore with less support of west in pre revolution era.Iran's first nuclear power plant,
 
Bushehr I, is expected to be operational in2009.There are no current plans to complete the Bushehr II reactor. Iran also wantto built other 19 nuclear projects and have mental picture in mind. Iran hasannounced that it is working on a new 360
 MWe 
nuclear power plant to be locatedin Darkhovin. Iran has also indicated that it will seek more medium-sized nuclear  power plants and uranium mines for the future.
1950 to 1970:-
Iran nuclear program was started in 1953 when(CIA) support those groups who disposed the democratically elected primeminister (Mohammed Mossadegh), and brought king (Mohammed Raza Shah Pahlavi) in power.A civil nuclear co-operation program was established under the U.S.
 
Atoms for Peace program. In 1967, the
 
Tehran Nuclear Research Center 
 
(TNRC) wasestablished, run by the
 
Atomic Energy Organization of Iran
 
(AEOI). The TNRC
