Abstrakt: This article presents information regarding the impact of Atomic warfare. The U.S. and Soviet Union are close to war. Neither nation ins been able to extricate itself from the "vicious circle" in which it has become caught. Both nations, frightened of each other, have pursued security but have not obtained it. When one speaks of hydrogen bombs, one mean the detonation of very large quantities of heavy hydrogen, utilizing the ordinary atomic bomb as a component of the detonating mechanism. If it turns out that an unlimited amount of heavy hydrogen can be detonated, one shall be confronted with several possibilities. One may be able to construct bombs some one thousand times as powerful as the Nagasaki, Japan, bomb and have them carried to their destination by plane or submarine.
