	Nuclear utilization target selection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuclear utilization target selection (NUTS) was a strategy developed during the Cold War as a means for one world nuclear power to achieve victory against another world nuclear power.
		To be victorious, the attacker had to destroy the target country's nuclear arsenal in a massive first strike.
		However, because nuclear missiles were able to be launched from submarines (SLBMs) or mobile installations (the Soviet SS-20s), the idea of targeting fixed installations that the NUTS theory entails would not have been successful.

		In nuclear strategy, first strike capability is a countrys ability to defeat another nuclear power by destroying its arsenal to the point where the attacking country can survive the weakened retaliation.
		The RT-21M Pioneer was a medium-range ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead deployed by the Soviet Union from 1976 to 1988.
		However, because nuclear missiles were able to be launched from submarines (SLBMs) or mobile installations (the Soviet SS-20s), the idea of targetting fixed installations that the NUTS theory entails would not have been successful.

		The states are ordered by the timing of their gaining of nuclear weapons, certainly in the case of the declared nuclear powers and somewhat speculatively in the case of the non-declared powers.
		Nuclear weapons are often described as either fission or fusion devices based on the dominant source of the weapon's energy.
		Nuclear weapons are relatively inefficient in their use of fissionable material, and much of the uranium and plutonium is dispersed by the explosion without undergoing fission.

	Nuclear strategy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuclear strategy involves the development of doctrines and strategies for the production and use of nuclear weapons.
		Nuclear strategy, as a sub-branch of military strategy, attempts to match nuclear weapons as means to political ends.
		Many strategists argue that nuclear strategy differs from other forms of military strategy because the immense and terrifying power of the weapons makes their use in seeking victory in a traditional military sense impossible.

		The first is part of a UK-only retaliatory response to a nuclear attack, whether a full strategic strike involving all of the Royal Navy's Trident submarines, or a limited tactical strike involving perhaps only one missile.
		The Royal Navy's contribution to the SIOP shows the power of the nuclear arsenal committed to the plan, the four Vanguard submarines (at maximum capacity) could strike 512 separate targets, and this is a small fraction of the U.S. deterrent force.
		The ever expanding target lists were split into classes of targets, with a wider range of plans matching strikes to political intentions from counterforce to countervalue, or any mix/withhold strategy to control escalation.

	Nuclear strategy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Nuclear strategy involves the development of doctriness and strategies for the production and use of nuclear weapons.
		Nuclear strategy attempts to allow the political leadership of a nation to answer the question, should we develop nuclear weapons, what types of nuclear weapons should we develop, and when should we use them?
		Nuclear strategy differs from many other forms of military strategy because the consequences of nuclear warfare are so horrendous, that the primary goal of nuclear strategy has generally been to find ways to prevent the weapons from being used.

		Nuclear weapons systems are sometimes considered expensive to maintain due to their complexity, their unique characteristics, and the lack of private industry support of some components of their infrastructure.
		Nuclear weapons are considered expensive today because they are primarily strategic in nature and we are in the midst of a “strategic pause" that has lessened the perceived need for strategic weapons.
		Nuclear weapons, as the most destructive instruments yet invented, must be considered as part of a coordinated national security program that employs diplomacy, arms control initiatives, and conventional forces to optimize stability and peace in the world.

	Hard Target: Rolling-Back Iranian Nuclear Programmes
		In the run-up to the Gulf War, Iraq was pursuing its nuclear proliferation programme in relatively plain sight, accelerating its attempts to produce weapons grade material and raising the visible signature of nuclear facilities.
		The selection of targets would likely be influenced in part by choices and partly by the limits of available intelligence; it is a truism that air forces can only strike what they can find and many critical nodes of the Iranian nuclear programme may not be detectable.
		Targeting intelligence would be the key limiting factor on the prosecution of the operation for the US, which would struggle to keep the campaign manageably small and focused on Iran’s nuclear targets.

	Nuclear utilization target selection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Nuclear utilization target selection (NUTS) is a strategy for winning a nuclear war by destroying "enough" or all of the opponent's nuclear weapons in a first strike, relieving the attacker from the threat of mutual assured destruction (MAD).
		The strategy was first described in the 1970s, when the accuracy of the nuclear weapons became good enough to envision this scenario.
		However, because of nuclear missiles that can be launched from submarines (SLBMs) or mobile installations (the Soviet SS-20s[?]), the United States really never had a chance to win a nuclear war with the Soviet Union using the NUTS strategy.

		Despite President Reagan's public statements that nuclear wars shouldn't be fought and can't be won, the United States continued to spend trillions of dollars on a nuclear arms build-up and prepare to fight and win nuclear wars.
		Instead of changing their nuclear policy because the majority of Americans were opposed to it, President Reagan misled the American people into thinking he had changed American policy when he really hadn't.

		There are numerous accidents : nuclear submarines have disappeared with all their crews, bombers have crashed or ditched into the ocean with nuclear bombs on board, false alarms have been triggered by radar and computers confusing wild geese or weather phenomena with nuclear attacks.

		The five main nuclear weapons states seem to have recently admitted this, when on May 19 (in fact 21) in New York they promised to engage "unequivocally" in a process aimed at "total elimination" of nuclear weapons.
