Why nuclear issues are relevant to the Geography classroom.
There more than 17, 000 nuclear weapons in the world today
Young people are generally unaware of nuclear dangers
Young people should know that there are solutions
Nuclear issues raise discussion for human and physical geography
All opinions are valued and should be explored – important for all the Humanities!

Britain’s Nuclear WeaponsBritain’s Nuclear Weapons
Britain has about 225 nuclear weapons
Each one has eight times the power of Hiroshima
One could kill up to a million people
The weapons are submarine based
![Page 10: Peace Education in the Geography Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/568134ac550346895d9bc103/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Latest DevelopmentsLatest Developments Voted in 2007 to
replace the system Delay to “main gate”
decision until 2016 and alternatives considered e.g. “lock in a cupboard”
HOWEVER : £3bn will be spend
before final decision made. (subs and AWE)
Scottish independence?

What would happen if…
A British nuclear weapon was dropped on the GA Conference @ Surrey Uni?
![Page 12: Peace Education in the Geography Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/568134ac550346895d9bc103/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

If a British warhead dropped on the university….
Within 4km there would be complete destruction of buildings and firestorms
The temperature on the ground would reach up to 6 000° C
Winds would rage at 1 000 mph
People close to the centre would be reduced nothing more than shadows due to the power of the heat rays
This would effect all of Guilford
![Page 14: Peace Education in the Geography Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/568134ac550346895d9bc103/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
…effects further out…
Buildings would still collapse up to 12km away
Exposed skin would burn from heat rays
Lots of radiation would be released causing radiation sickness
This would happen over Woking, Aldershot, Cranleigh and Dorking
![Page 15: Peace Education in the Geography Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/568134ac550346895d9bc103/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
…far reaching effects. Effects would be
even further reaching with black radioactive rain falling throughout the region.
A bomb exploded on the ground could spread radiation for large distances and be spread by the wind even further.
The effects would reach far into the future with survivors getting leukaemia and cancer years later, and affecting their children and grandchildren.

EFFECTS ARE SO

Chernobyl disaster shows effects of radiation
Testing and mining are so damaging

Solutions to Nuclear DangersSolutions to Nuclear Dangers
Reduce the Likelihood of Their Use– Taken off alert– No First Use– Nuclear Weapon Free
Zones
No New Nukes– Stop upgrading – Encourages others to get
them – Against international law
A Global Ban- Like landmines etc. have
been banned

WHAT IS A HAIKU?
A haiku is a Japanese poem which follows a strict structure
Haiku are made up of 17 syllables in total, over three lines
Haiku have five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line and five in the third line
![Page 57: Peace Education in the Geography Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/568134ac550346895d9bc103/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
EXAMPLE ONE:
Glass pierces the skinDark sky, earth tremble, cryingIs this peace, for you?
Glass/ pier/ces/ the/ skin – 5 syllables
Dark/ sky/, earth/ trem/ble, cry/ing – 7 syllables
Is/ this/ peace/, for/ you? – 5 syllables
Is this haiku for or against the bombing?
![Page 58: Peace Education in the Geography Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/568134ac550346895d9bc103/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
EXAMPLE TWO:
The day it endedOh what else was there to do? Peace bought with the bomb
The/ day/ it/ end/ed – 5 syllables
Oh/ what/ else/ was/ there/ to/ do? – 7 syllables
Peace/ bought/ with/ the/ bomb – 5 syllables
Is this haiku for or against the bombing?
![Page 59: Peace Education in the Geography Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/568134ac550346895d9bc103/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
YOUR TASK:
Write a haiku about the bombing of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki
1.Select a witness from the trial 2.Write a haiku from their point of view3.If you have time, write one from your point
of view too or the opposite point of view!
![Page 60: Peace Education in the Geography Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/568134ac550346895d9bc103/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
HAIKU TIPS: Remember the witnesses’ arguments from last
lesson (look at your notes) How did the witnesses feel about the bombing?
Did they think it was right or wrong? Think about the words you would use to
express your feelings when writing your haiku. Use the word banks for ideas. What images do the words make you think of? Your haiku can be abstract, meaning it doesn’t
have to make perfect sense!

DISCUSS:
How can you tell the difference between the haikus that are for the bombing and those that are against?
Are haikus a good way of expressing emotion? Would another form of poetry be better?

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
“You are brain washing children” Factual Information With Hiroshima/
Nagasaki survivors – teachers can give opposing views
Campaigning methods can be discussed but not forced
Other views are discussed
Young people are supported in reaching their own view
“Children shouldn’t be exposed to such things” Appropriately aged Need to understand
world issues Safe space for
possibly difficult discussion
Less biased than media – different views explored
