	Ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One can measure ships in terms of overall length, length of the waterline, beam (breadth), depth (distance between the crown of the weather deck and the top of the keelson), draft (distance between the highest waterline and the bottom of the ship) and tonnage.
		Before mechanisation, merchant ships always used sail, but as long as naval warfare depended on ships closing to ram or to fight hand-to-hand, galleys dominated in marine conflicts because of their maneuverability and speed.
		A few ships have used nuclear reactors (like Arktika class icebreaker with 75,000 hp power), but this is not a separate form of propulsion; the reactor heats steam to drive the turbines.

	Soviet icebreaker Lenin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The nuclear powered icebreaker Lenin was the first nuclear surface ship in the world.
		Lenin was decommissioned in 1989, because its hull had worn thin from ice friction, and is being converted into a museum ship.
		Specialists of the Murmansk shipping company say it is due to be finished in 2005.

	sociology - Ship
		A rule of thumb saying (though it doesn't always apply) goes: "a boat can fit on a ship, but a ship can't fit on a boat." Often local law and regulation will define the exact size (or the number of masts) which a boat requires to become a ship.
		Windlass - hydraulic winch mechanism used to raise and lower the ship's cable, and to heave in on hawsers.
		A few ships have used nuclear reactors, but this form of propulsion has caused concerns about safety and has only become common in large aircraft carriers and in submarines, where the ability to run submerged for long periods has obvious benefits.

	Nuclear Engineering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Nuclear energy is currently America's second largest source of energy, only exceeded by coal, but concerns over its risks and over the environmental damage caused by radioactive waste have led to a complete halt in its expansion.
		Nuclear engineers conduct research for utility companies to optimize the performance of existing plants, and they are employed in atomic research facilities like the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
		Nuclear engineers work in extended teams, and caution and risk control are the bywords of the industry--appropriately so, given the dangers of nuclear radiation.

	International Law - Bombing of Civilians
		Aerial bombardment for the purpose of terrorizing the civilian population, of destroying or damaging private property not of military character, or of injuring non-combatants is prohibited.
		Civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict...
		A threat or use of nuclear weapons should also be compatible with the requirements of the international law applicable in armed conflict particularly those of the principles and rules of international humanitarian law, as well as with specific obligations under treaties and other undertakings which expressly deal with nuclear weapons;

	[No title]
		The civilian counterpart to the Dong Feng-4 is the Long March-1 (LM-1), which was used for the first successful Chinese satellite launch in 1970.
		The civilian version of the DF-5 is known as the Long March 2C (or by the alternate Chinese designation Chang Zheng-2C, CZ-2C.) This launcher has been used heavily by the Chinese space program, and has been launching satellites into space since 1975, five years before the ICBM version was completed.
		Given the range of yields in airborne nuclear tests, the Chinese probably have at least two bomb variants: a tactical one with a low kiloton yield, and a strategic one in the 1-3 megaton range.

		Ironically, a closer 'strategic partnership' between the U.S. and India is on the cards despite their differences on the issue of nuclear weapons, itself related to India's status as a non-signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which possesses nuclear weapons.
		Without Congressional ratification, the nuclear deal cannot be finalised and the U.S. cannot resume civilian nuclear commerce with India.
		It is more probable that the two leaders will issue a 'positive' statement, reaffirming their commitment to successfully negotiating the nuclear deal, while emphasising agreements on a range of issues in order to claim that the Bush visit is a major success.

	Nuclear Waste Task Force - Nuclear Waste Briefs Fall 1996 - Sierra Club
		The solutions were shipped to Nuclear Fuel Services in Erwin, Tenn., where they will be converted to a more stable oxide form and eventually used as fuel in government research reactors.
		The Nuclear Control Institute is demanding that IAEA defer action until it develops a code that conforms with strict U.S. requirements and international aviation standards.
		Its nuclear development is owed to its location, 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle yet ice free because the Barents Sea is the terminus of the Gulf Stream.

		Given the destructive potential of even a single nuclear bomb—500,000 people dead in a midday New York City explosion is not an unreasonable estimate—an effective plutonium blockade must be airtight.
		Finding a grapefruit-sized ball of plutonium—about the amount needed for a basic nuclear weapon—requires that a detector be held within roughly 25 meters.
		By contrast, bundling a nuclear weapon's worth of plutonium with such a shipment would be trivial, and the United States would be effectively powerless to stop it.

		The only change to the system used to guard nuclear weapons is that there are now two people on watch instead of one at the Gadzhiyevo docks where the incident occurred.
		A 1996 CIA report that looks at the unauthorized use of nuclear weapons by Russian strategic forces raises the prospect that civilian leaders could lose control of the nuclear arsenal to the military.
		Another report says that Russian leaders questioned whether there are adequate controls on the nuclear arsenal, and that in one case a computer glitch caused nuclear missile crews to go on higher than normal alert.

		The U.S. Department of Energy maintains a Human Radiation Experiments homepage containing thousands of reports and declassified documents, including information on specific atmospheric nuclear tests in which Navy and Marine Corps, as well as civilian employees participated.
		Between 1945 and 1962, during the atmospheric test series, the U.S. Government conducted 235 nuclear weapons tests, principally in Nevada and the Pacific.
		He witnessed seven of the first eight nuclear bomb explosions; and served as the bomb commander and weaponeer during the Enola Gay's mission to bomb Hiroshima, when he performed the final assembly of the "Little Boy" nuclear weapon in the aircraft's bomb bay.
