We cannot
deny the contribution of nuclear energy in our present lives. Medically, it has
been used to further strengthen the realms of science. Its elements have been
helpful in many successful experiments and with the continuous search for
knowledge, it has been reviewed as one of the elements of nature which can open
doors to great possibilities and widen human understanding on life forms.
Perhaps, nuclear is one of components of nature which can solve great mysteries
and answer life-long questions.
However,
time and again, we are reminded of its capabilities when not handled properly.
One minute we awe of its prowess, next minute, we despise the use of it in the
expense of innocent victims who might have died before their time.
Chernobyl,
Fukushima, Nagasaki, Hiroshima. These are the “accidents” which claimed
millions of lives in total, most of them civilians. We commemorate their
anniversaries since it is rare to be hit by nuclear bombs or get blasted in a
nuclear plant.
Then, just
as people should be doing, we continue living. When finally the fear subsides,
when insurance has paid off the damages, when the government has paid respects
to the families left behind, when the city of Tokyo and Yokohama in Japan and
the Soviet Union have finally cleared the remnants off the streets, we get back
to applauding nuclear powers.
Yet, once
again, as we are facing another threat of war declared by ISIS forces which
have emphasized death to those who would hinder their path of total control, we
fear the use of the greatest weapon known to human kind: nuclear.
Different
governments and organizations are on the move to dispel anyone who is suspected
of smuggling nuclear contaminates to ISIS force. Every movement the authorities
make, every little allegations make it to headline news.
We are
currently informed of the latest news: a group of people were caught and
suspected of doing fraudulent negotiation with ISIS members, taking advantage
of the situation and selling cache of deadly cesium – a very powerful powder
used for production of the weapon of mass destruction. Later on, we are
informed that it was all a hoax. Those on top do not realize the loopholes on
these panic-stricken raids.
Authorities
pounce on suspects in the early stages of a deal, giving the ringleaders a
chance to escape with their nuclear contraband — an indication that the threat
from the nuclear black market in discreet areas is far from under control.
