Summary/Abstract: As it is known, this year, in August, the victims of the nuclear attacks carried out by the United States of America against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were once again commemorated in Japan and around the world. Since that moment until nowadays, the nuclear arsenals have increased spectacularly, reaching in 2019, 13,865 (approximately) nuclear weapons worldwide, but with colossal destructive powers, in the order of Mega-tons and Giga-tons. The most active promoters are, as in the past, the United States and the Russian Federation (the heir to USSR's nuclear arsenal). The leaders of the nuclear states do not seem to give the slightest sign that they are diminishing or even removing the danger.
