	CNS - A Preemptive Attack on Iran's Nuclear Facilities: Possible Consequences - August 12, 2004 - Research Story
		Natanz is a nuclear facility, the previously secret existence of which was disclosed by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) an Iranian opposition group in August 15, 2002.
		In the event of an unprovoked preemptive attack on its nuclear facilities, Iran could justifiably argue that it requires nuclear weapons to guard against aggression and protect its sovereignty, effectively announcing its intention to withdraw from the NPT and altering the current international dynamic.
		An attack on Iran's nuclear facilities that are viewed by most Iranians as a symbol of national pride and technological progress would provide the Iranian mullahs the necessary justification to intensify their crackdown on dissidents and moderates, whom the hawks are likely to brand as agents of foreign powers.

	Nuclear Attack Simulator
		Nuclear planners began to consider whether it would be possible to limit a nuclear war to a counterforce exchange; a war in which only the weapons of each side would be deliberately targeted, and the urban areas would not be struck.
		While acknowledging that the term "humane" is a relative one when contemplating nuclear war, a counterforce war was touted as not only a less costly way to wage war (since only a small number of civilians would be killed), but also a more moral way to fight.
		If this type of nuclear war is realistic, then it must be possible to destroy a large number of strategic nuclear targets while inflicting only a small amount of damage to the civilian population.

		In April, Pyongyang declared that it already possessed nuclear weapons and was in the midst of manufacturing more, having reprocessed the fuel from 8,000 control rods at one of its "civilian" reactors.
		Not only does the North appear to have deliverable nuclear weapons, it also has one of the world's largest armies, comprising 1.2 million soldiers, some 70% of whom are positioned in and around the 12,000 underground bunkers near the demilitarized zone that separates the two Koreas.

	Nuclear warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the history of nuclear weapons, only twice were nuclear arms used in war (the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), and only by one side in the confrontation.
		It is in this latter mode that nuclear warfare is usually alluded to as a doomsday scenario.
		Nuclear terrorism by non-state organizations may be more likely, as states possessing nuclear weapons are susceptible to retaliation in kind.

	Nuclear weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The detonation of a nuclear weapon is accompanied by a blast of neutron radiation.
		Nuclear weapons were symbols of military and national power, and nuclear testing was often used both to test new designs as well as to send political messages.
		Nuclear weapons have been at the heart of many national and international political disputes and have played a major part in popular culture since their dramatic public debut in the 1940s and have usually symbolized the ultimate ability of mankind to utilize the strength of nature for destruction.

		The danger of a massive strategic nuclear attack on the United States involving many weapons receded with the end of the Cold War.
		If there were threat of an attack from a hostile nation, people living near potential targets could be advised to evacuate or they could decide on their own to evacuate to an area not considered a likely target.

	Global Beat: Accidental Nuclear War -- A Post-Cold War Assessment
		Although many people believe that the threat of a nuclear attack largely disappeared with the end of the Cold War, there is considerable evidence to the contrary.
		Safeguards against a nuclear attack will be further degraded if the Russian government implements its current plan to distribute both the unlock codes and conditional launch authority down the chain of command.
		Possible scenarios of an accidental or otherwise unauthorized nuclear attack range from the launch of a single missile due to a technical malfunction to the launch of a massive salvo due to a false warning.

	Nuclear Terrorism - Book Reviews - NYPress (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Part of the Cold War arms race on both sides involved an ongoing effort to reduce the size of their nuclear bombs, first so they could fit onto missiles, later so they could be delivered into enemy territory on the bodies of individual commandos.
		A terrorist could ship a nuclear bomb in a bag of golf clubs via FedEx, walk it over the border with a Mexican guide or smuggle it inside one of the millions of containers carried annually into this country on inter-modal transport, only three percent of which are searched at point of entry.
		Allison quotes one expert who admits the only way to find a nuclear bomb hidden amid other cargo or in an urban environment is "with a screwdriver." Unless each cargo container is opened and searched by hand, any talk about port security is largely aimed at reassuring the public.

	Nuclear Terrorism
		A terrorist attack on a commercial nuclear power plant with a commercial jet or heavy munitions could have a similar affect to a radiological bomb, and cause for greater casualties.
		In fact, a replica — with proxy nuclear material and conventional explosives in place of the real stuff — was disguised as a briefcase, and actually hand-carried on commercial airline flights from California to Washington in the early 1980s.
		For a nuclear device, a set of options for disabling the weapon are available including using explosives to wreck the bomb's wiring to prevent the triggering of the nuclear detonators.

		The advice on how to survive a nuclear winter was issued in 1963, after the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the threat of nuclear war closer than ever before.

		Although the threat of nuclear war seems less prominent now than in the 1960s the danger is still very real, and our defence against attack is still near to useless.

	Administration’s Nuclear Saber Rattling on Iran Threatens Global Security
		The very fact that nuclear weapon use is being discussed as an option—against a state that does not have nuclear weapons and does not represent a direct or imminent threat to the United States—illustrates the extent to which the Bush administration has changed U.S. nuclear weapons policy.
		It has also blurred the line between nuclear and conventional weapons by declaring that nuclear weapons can be used as part of military operations.
		"Threatening to use nuclear weapons against Iran provides the strongest of incentives for nuclear proliferation, since it would send the message that the only way for a country to deter nuclear attack is to acquire its own nuclear arsenal.
