Are Nuclear Weapons Strategically Obsolete? Why or Why not? The ongoing debate of whether or not nuclear weapons are obsolete or not is a very complex one. Numerous studies have purported that nuclear weapons no longer serve an important strategic purpose for countries such as the United States of America and Great Britain. Clausewitz stated that war and politics were inextricably linked. So the distinction between “political” and “military” viability of nuclear weapons is one without meaning. Essentially

NUCLEAR POWER IS NOT THE ANSWER by Helen Caldicott [Editor’s note: The following is the Introduction to Dr. Helen Caldicott’s new book Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer.] “[Nuclear power] is a very important part of our energy policy today in the U.S. . . . America’s electricity is already being provided through the nuclear industry efficiently‚ safely‚ and with no discharge of greenhouse gases or emissions.” —Vice President Cheney in a speech to the Nuclear Energy Institute‚ May 22‚ 2001 “The 103

Nuclear energy – Uses and abuses Nuclear energy is the energy created from the nucleus of atoms. The nuclear power is released in nuclear reactions which can be nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. In nuclear fusion‚ atoms combine together to form a larger atom. This is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy. Large scale fusion processes involve very high temperatures and densities‚ such as the production of energy from the sun and the shine from stars we see in the night sky. On the

What are the Advantages of Nuclear Energy? * Nuclear reactions release a million times more energy‚ as compared to hydro or wind energy. Hence‚ a large amount of electricity can be generated. Presently‚ 12-18% of the world’s electricity is generated through nuclear energy. * The biggest advantage of nuclear energy is that there is no release of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ ozone‚ chlorofluorocarbon) during nuclear reaction. The greenhouse gases are a major threat in the

Dangers and hazards of nuclear power When the term Nuclear Power or Nuclear Energy gets used usually the first things that come to mind for most people are bombs‚ destruction‚ war‚ and deformed humans. Which in fact are four things that occur the least in the nuclear power field. Nuclear power is much more than just bombs and destruction‚ bombs barely even take up a percentage of the total amount of nuclear energy used in the world today. Most all of the nuclear energy used today comes in the form

Living During the Nuclear Threat HIS 145 Living under the threat of nuclear war would have been a very scary and unimaginable event‚ especially in the 1950s. Terrorism is another very dangerous threat‚ but it is different in its own. Living under the threat of nuclear war was a scary time for Americans. The media had to curve the tension people thought by making a television cartoon to enhance people to think they were save as long as they followed a few rules. Society in that period
