	NUCLEAR WEAPON : Encyclopedia Entry
		A nuclear weapon is a weapon which derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions of fission or fusion.
		The first nuclear weapons were created in the United States by an international team, including many displaced scientists from central Europe, with assistance from the United Kingdom and Canada during World War II as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project.
		Some weapons are designed for special purposes; a neutron bomb is a nuclear weapon that yields a relatively small explosion but a relatively large amount of prompt radiation; such a device could theoretically be used to cause massive casualties while leaving infrastructure mostly intact.

		The energy released by a nuclear weapon is generally measured by the explosive power of an equivalent amount of trinitrotoluene, known as the weapon's yield.
		Although a nuclear weapon is capable of causing the same destruction as conventional explosives through the effects of blast and thermal radiation, it does so by releasing much larger amounts of energy in a much shorter period of time.
		A weapon with a ten-megaton yield would be capable of destroying an entire modern city, while a weapon with a hundred-megaton yield (although the deployment of such a weapon would be considered impractical) would set wooden structures and forests alight up to 60-100 miles (100-160 km) from ground zero.

	davidbau.com: Nuclear Equations
		Even though the insanity of nuclear war had long been a popular topic of intellectual debate since the 60s, it took until the 1980s for the people of the USA to emotionally internalize the reality and fear of nuclear war.
		Nuclear weapons place the delicate flower that is the existence of humanity into our leaders' clumsy hands.
		Starkly, the nuclear equation is this: if one nation explodes the first nuclear weapon - perhaps by accident, perhaps the reaction to some provocation, perhaps even a loner's misguided attempt to gain favor or notoriety - the second nuclear weapon will be used to flatten the first nuclear nation.

	Nuclear weapons in popular culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuclear weapons became synonymous with apocalypse, and as a symbol this resonated through the culture of nations with open presses.
		Nuclear weapons are a staple element in science fiction novels.
		Many of the characteristics of nuclear weapons themselves have played on ages-old human themes and tropes (penetrating rays, persistent contamination, virility, and, of course, apocalypse), giving their standing in popular culture and politics a particularly emotional valence (both positive and negative).

		His implication: In a defense-dominated nuclear world, MAD would be as obsolete as bomb shelters, civil defense sirens, and the cold war itself.
		The catastrophic damage that would be caused by even one thermonuclear weapon meant that war plans needed to focus not on the best way to fight nuclear war, but on the best way to prevent it from ever beginning.
		It took a nuclear theorist from outside the government, Donald Brennan of the Hudson Institute, to publicize the ethical difficulties of this position.
