When atom is broken up, a lot of energy is produced. This atomic energy has been used for destructive as well as for constructive purposes. The first well known destructive use was the making of atom bomb. The atom bomb was dropped during second world war on two Japanese cities. This caused large scale destruction. Thousands of people died or seriously become ill.
Several countries have atomic submarines and ships that run on atomic energy. These are to be used in wars causing mass destruction.
Scientists have developed atomic power plants to produce electricity. Several plants are to be set in different parts of country. In the advanced countries like the US, Britain, Russia, Japan, Canada, Australia, France etc electricity is produced from atomic power plants on very large scale.
Further, atomic reactors for boiling water are in use in advanced countries. Scientists are trying to use atomic energy as a fuel for planes, cars and ships. The radiation given out by atomic reactors are used for treatment of diseases like cancer. They are also used for killing dangerous germs and insects. Scientists should use atomic energy only for constructive and peaceful purposes and should not use it for destruction.
