Learning more about it, and understanding it, it's beyond terrifying that humans have the capability of setting off something fifty times as catastrophic with a turn of a key and a push of a button. Humans across the globe have these weapons standing by.

It doesn't even have to be bomb. Conquering the atom has consequences even at the smallest macro scale.

Imagine two halves of a cantaloupe-sized ball of uranium or plutonium. Put them together and anyone standing in the room suddenly has a death timer.

And this enduring fear is why newer-gen reactors and thorium/molten salt reactors are taking nearly forever to get up and running.
