It means destruction of Biodiversity by Nuclear equipment and nuclear bombs. In a holocaust, a large number of living beings are totally destroyed. Usually, this kind of destructions are happened in a nuclear war.
Effect of Nuclear Holocaust :
1. Nuclear Winter :
Nuclear Bombardment will cause combustion of wood, plastics, petroleum, forest etc., Large quantity of black soot will be carried to stratosphere. Black soot will absorb all UV - radiations and will not allow the radiation to reach the earth. Therefore, cooling will result. Due to this cooling effect, water evaporation will also reduce. In stratosphere there won't be significant moisture to rain-out the thick soot. Thus, due to nuclear explosions. a process known as opposite to global warming will occur. This is called nuclear winter.
Effect of Nuclear Winter :
i) Lowers the global temperature, even in summer the temperature will be at freezing temperature.
ii) Crop productivity will be reduced causing famines and human sufferings.
2. It Ignite all combustible material, destroy all the living beings, material crushing, destruction of homes.
Control Measures :
1. Suitable precautions are to be taken and training must be given to people to for handling these materials to avoid accident.
2. Constant monitoring of the radiation level has to be carried out, limit exposure to the workers.
3. Regular checks and control measures are done by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board Under the Department of Atomic energy.
