The price of knowing about nuclear technology.

Most of the people don´t really know what is the correct meaning for this issue. Therefore, they don´t care about what is happening around the world; because, when you don´t understand about something, somebody is taking decisions behind you; somebody is ruling and saying what to do when you are not there. This is the price of ignorance.

Nuclear technology is technology that involves the reactions of atomic nuclei.  It has been found applications from smoke detectors to nuclear reactors and from gun sights to nuclear weapons. It was developed in the 20 century from the understanding of radioactivity and the nuclear reactions like fission and fusion.

The civilian uses of nuclear technology are: nuclear power (propulsion, heat and generation of electricity), medical applications (diagnostics and radiation treatment), oil and gas exploration, and food processing and agriculture. These are good uses that could lead into benefits and developments for many countries in the world. Unfortunately, this is not a right for all. This is the right of a minority.

Moreover, the force that derives from nuclear reactions also can be used to generate explosive devices like nuclear weapons. Rich countries really know how to use this power; they are using it to create fear in people and also, to generate the need of being protected by someone, no matter what it takes. They invent small and big wars every time and every where they want, lying to keep us controlled and quiet, but feeling safe.

The truth is, maybe we are no more ignorant about nuclear technology. Despite this, we can´t reach crucial decisions still, neither express our disagreements in liberty. This is the price of knowing that we are being ruled by the governments we trust. This is the path we decided to walk, and others are really walking for us.
