the reason mechanical arms are used is because in a nuclear power station nuclear radiation is being constantly given off by the fusion. therefore if a human hand or any other part of the body were to enter and be blasted with radiation and be deformed for life or will be instanly killed depending on the amount of radiation given off.

What cause the arms race?

The hydrogen bomb was the main factor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrong! The nuclear arms race began in 1939 when nuclear fission was discovered. The race was between Germany, England, and the USSR (using information from spies in the English program). By the time the US entered the nuclear arms race England merged their project with the US Manhattan Project, Germany had withdrawn (nobody else knew this) limiting their project to prototype nuclear reactors only with the goal of nuclear power plants after Germany won the war. So long before the first use of nuclear weapons, ending WW2 the nuclear arms race between the US and USSR was already well in place.

why was the nuclear arms race important?

The nuclear arms race was crucial because it significantly shaped international relations and military strategy during the Cold War. It led to an escalation of tensions between superpowers, primarily the United States and the Soviet Union, as each sought to develop and stockpile nuclear weapons to deter aggression and maintain power. This competition not only influenced defense policies but also spurred advancements in technology and the establishment of arms control treaties, highlighting the global risks associated with nuclear proliferation. Ultimately, the arms race underscored the need for diplomatic efforts to prevent nuclear conflict and promote disarmament.
