	Going Nuclear
		Nuclear energy is the only large-scale, cost-effective energy source that can reduce these emissions while continuing to satisfy a growing demand for power.
		The only practical approach to the issue of nuclear weapons proliferation is to put it higher on the international agenda and to use diplomacy and, where necessary, force to prevent countries or terrorists from using nuclear materials for destructive ends.
		Imagine if the ratio of coal to nuclear were reversed so that only 20 percent of our electricity was generated from coal and 60 percent from nuclear.

	Nuclear warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Only if a nuclear conflict were extended into a number of 'spasm' strikes would direct strikes against civilians occur as the more accurate weapons would be expended early; if one side was 'losing', the potential for using less accurate submarine-launched missiles would occur.
		The submarines and their missile systems were very expensive (one fully equipped nuclear powered nuclear missile submarine could easily cost more than the entire GNP of a third world nation), but the greatest cost came in the development of both sea- and land-based anti-submarine defenses and in improving and strengthening the chain of command.
		Nuclear terrorism by non-state organisations could well be more likely, as states possessing nuclear weapons are susceptible to retaliation in kind.

	Nuclear holocaust - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Prospects of a nuclear holocaust were first publicly feared during the Cold War, but diplomatic relations between the USA and USSR limited people’s concerns to during commercial breaks.
		The first use of nuclear holocaust as a concept can be found in the children’s book “Winnie-the-Pooh”, published in the 1926.
		The most recent analysis has shown that a nuclear holocaust will be likely to result from ongoing friction (not yet begun) between the USA and North Dumpling Island concerning the appointed ministers of ice-creams.

		These missiles were primarily designed to carry a nuclear payload called the; "W-86 Warhead", for many years (at least ten) missile maintainers were trained to maintain these missiles with the nuclear payloads, until the bombing against Iraq.
		Two of the W-86 Nuclear Warheads were left inside of two of two missiles that struck Iraq, due to the constant shortage of, and over-worked military personnel.
		Nuclear warheads cannot arm unless they are coded to do so, the conventional warheads do not need such a code.

		The existence of nuclear weapons is therefore a challenge to the very existence of humanitarian law, not to mention their long-term effects of damage to the human environment, in respect to which the right to life must be exercised."
		Citizens of the allies of nuclear weapon states are themselves vulnerable to nuclear attack because of the military doctrine of the nuclear powers.
		Tragically the nuclear weapon states and their allies are victims of a self-imposed and self-destructive addiction to nuclear weapons.

	A Latin American Proposal for Peace and Against Nuclear Holocaust October 2004
		Nuclear proliferation continues despite the existence of a series of international agreements designed to prevent it.
		The illegal traffic in nuclear arms, the violations of the treaties, and the contempt with which the United States has been acting, particularly during the administrations of Bush Sr., Ronald Reagan, and Bush Jr., have combined to make the non-proliferation system of little value and irrelevant.
		The United States and Russia should agree to eliminate the vast majority of the nuclear weapons in their arsenals (90% of the almost 16,000 nuclear warheads that they possess in the short term), moving beyond the joint declaration signed in Helsinki in March 1997.

	Nuclear Holocaust
		Nuclear experts describe the state of a critical mass which is about to explode, as something elongating and pulsating with the immense pressure built within it.
		This is not the only model of a nuclear bomb but we have chosen this simple one to describe the process of the extended columns.
		Such destruction as described could only result from a holocaust of the magnitude of hundreds of nuclear explosions, which implies that man will not learn his lesson and the head of his arrogance will have to be bent by the sheer weight of this enormity.

	Holocaust And Nuclear Denial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Some westerners, while lamenting Ahmedinejad's insensitivity, have struggled to minimise the significance of his Holocaust denial as the fulminations of a misguided fanatic (as if misguided fanaticism were an incidental quality in a nation's president).
		What Holocaust deniers seek most is to undo the idea that Nazi crimes should have any impact on current international relations or on global notions of morality.
		In this context, to deny the Holocaust is to reject its modern association with evil, and implies that what happened during the Holocaust could be accommodated under a different moral order.

		Advances in fundamental physics through the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics led to the development of nuclear weapons, the nuclear reactor, and the laser.

	Remembering the Nuclear Holocaust (SSPC, New Delhi)
		The nuclear bombings in two Japanese cities on August 6 and 9, 1945 during the Second World War were not only two most remarkable acts of war in recorded military history, but the bombing constituted a watershed as it opened a new age of world politics defined by the balance of terror.
		Prior to the actual use of nuclear bomb, the detonation of the world’s first nuclear device was taken place in the Alamogordo Desert in New Mexico on 16 July 1945.
		The sheer power of the nuclear device rightly prompted a rueful J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of atomic bomb to quote from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita,"I am become death, the destroyers of worlds." Barely twenty days later, first and till now last military use of this new weapon occurred against Japan.

	Ch. 2: Warnings and Communications - Nuclear War Survival Skills
		When Hiroshima and Nagasaki were blasted by the first nuclear weapons ever to be used in war, very few of the tens of thousands of Japanese killed or injured were inside their numerous air raid shelters.
		Three or four nuclear weapons skillfully spaced and detonated at high altitudes over the United States would produce EMP effects that might knock out most public power, most radio and TV broadcasting stations lacking special protection against these effects, and most radios connected to long antennas.
		Nuclear explosions on or near the ground may produce damaging EMP effects over areas somewhat larger than those in which such equipment and buildings would be damaged by the blast effects.

	Exploring Dystopia: Nuclear Holocaust
		Outright science fiction scenarios where military AI systems deliberately triggers nuclear wars, as suggested in Terminator and hinted at in Matrix, is merely a distant possibility in the future; it is, to say the least, very unlikely that artificial intelligence will be created within the next 30 years.
		Even partial nuclear holocaust, as suggested in the excellent Warday and the less excellent multitude of WWIII thrillers, are basically dismissed as Cold War horrors today.
		Of course, the more nuclear powers there are in the world, the more fissile material for nuclear weapons will be circulating, the more experts on constructing nuclear weapons will be available, and the more possible scenarios of nuclear war will arise.

	Peter mcMahon argues that teh world has never been at greater risk of nuclear holocaust - On Line Opinion - 16/10/2003
		Nuclear weapons became useful only as deterrents, and when the two superpowers came to a showdown in 1962 over Cuba, they both backed away from the final option.
		The latest developments are an imminent nuclear weapons capability in those two "rogue nations" North Korea and Iran, and speculation that Saudi Arabia is considering the nuclear option.
		Since the existing nuclear states refuse to honour their obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to get rid of their nuclear weapons, and Washington is talking tougher and tougher about its right to "go nuclear", any constraints on nuclear proliferation other than the threat of force have pretty much disappeared.

	Holocaust word
		That "holocaust" was in broad secular use before the Nazi killings is fairly easily shown, but to demonstrate convincingly the absence of Judeo-Christian sacrificial connotations in such secular use requires an extensive sample of quotations.
		In French, there is significant use of "holocauste" in the sense of an abhorrent immolation to honor an infernal god and/or of a destruction inspired by stupidity or hate, a use encountered in writings of native English speakers fairly frequently before 1900 but rarely, if at all, in the twentieth century.
		The employment of "holocaust" with non-Nazi referents by those who have some investment in guarding and perpetuating the memory of the Jewish slaughter of the Hitler period is germane to the concerns of this essay, as is the disapproval that sometimes followed such employment.

	Un-Remembered Origins of "Nuclear Holocaust": World's First Thermonuclear Explosion of Nov. 1, 1952, by ...
		The yield of what the New York Times described as the mightiest nuclear explosion within the continental United States, which was the explosion of the first hydrogen device in Nevada in 1962, was but.0069 of the magnitude of the most powerful Pacific test, later disclosed as the 15-megaton Bravo shot of 1954.
		Environmental radioactivity derived from some nuclear weapons components like plutonium will persist for up to 500,000 years and may be hazardous to humans for at least half that time.
		The lingering effects of U.S. Pacific nuclear tests are visible today in the numerous kinds of cancers and other diseases and the degraded homelands that are determined by an official panel established by the U.S. and Marshallese governments to result from the U.S. experiments of decades ago.

	portland imc - 2007.01.08 - Is the Bush Administration Planning a Nuclear Holocaust?
		In this context, nuclear and conventional weapons are considered to be "part of the tool box", from which military commanders can pick and choose the instruments that they require in accordance with "evolving circumstances" in the war theater.
		It not only denies the devastating impacts of nuclear weapons, it states, in no uncertain terms, that nuclear weapons are "safe" and their use in the battlefield will ensure "minimal collateral damage and reduce the probability of escalation".
		Nuclear weapons are not meant to be used against "fanatical terrorists," nevertheless "the leaders of states which used terrorist means against us, as well as those who considered using, in one way or another, weapons of mass destruction, must understand that they are exposing themselves to a firm, appropriate response on our side...".(Ibid)

		The arms race has resulted whereby enough nuclear bombs now exist and are ready to destroy almost all life on earth.
		The one hope we have to avoid the nuclear holocaust is not in seeking unilateral disarmanent but rather in praying and working so that the Catholic bishops obey Our Lady of Fatima.
		Regarding the danger of nuclear destruction, Pope John Paul II said, "just two hundred(200) of the fifty thousand (50,000) nuclear bombs which it is estimated already exist, would be enough to destroy most of the large cities in the world."

		In older versions of Holocaust, these were much too pixelated to read from inside the game, but this isn¹t the case any more - the help screens, and pretty much everything else, are crystal clear.
		The in-game sounds and music are, as with most of Holocaust, very professional.There seems to be a wider selection of music in the latest version than that oh-so-annoying Michael Jackson sample thingy in the older version.
		Overall, Nuclear Holocaust is a very good game, and well worth the shareware registration fee.

	The Hindu : Ban battlefield nuclear weapons
		In the event, no nuclear weapons were used in Afghanistan, but one cannot remain sanguine about the prospects of such reticence in future conflicts if one goes by the recent disclosures of a "Nuclear Posture Review" document prepared by the Pentagon.
		Advocates of such battlefield nuclear weapons argue that with their relatively low yield they need not be viewed as such horrendous things since they would not cause significantly more damage than a barrage of giant conventional bombs.
		This despite the fact that the nuclear arsenals have grown from a handful of weapons in the hands of the Americans to tens of thousands of far more powerful bombs spread among a half a dozen countries.

	The Next Nuclear Holocaust
		But the Israeli pushed and US supported plan for "surgical tactical nuclear strikes" holds far more serious consequences which are ironically packaged and presented by an acquiescent media as means of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
		Let us have no delusions; despite their claims of unilateral action, Israel can not pull off a nuclear attack on Iran alone which means such an attack will come with full coordination and logistical support from the United States with strict guidance from Pentagon's Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations [2].
