# Nuclear software: In the UK the Health and Safety Executive recommends the use of static analysis on Reactor Protection Systems.

Nuclear submarines use mechanical life support systems to support humans for months without surfacing, and this same basic technology could presumably be employed for space use.

The Small Nuclear Rocket Engine, or SNRE, was designed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory ( LANL ) for upper stage use, both on unmanned launchers as well as the Space Shuttle.

Both nations have begun to realize the core truth of the post – Cold War era that, if the strategic reality, as described by the words of Ronald Reagan, is that " Nuclear war cannot be won and must not be fought ", then large nuclear weapons stockpiles have no positive use, are expensive, and can lead to dangerous destabilization.

Nuclear strategy involves the development of doctrines and strategies for the production and use of nuclear weapons.

The U. S. doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons was revised most recently in the Nuclear Posture Review, released April 6, 2010.

Nuclear explosives were once considered for use in large-scale excavation.

In 1986, the citizens approved an initiative declaring Sebastopol a " Nuclear Free Zone ", The town does not use pesticides in city landscaping, and several years back, when the police needed a new vehicle, the city council voted to purchase a hybrid instead of a standard police car.

Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control has been a major aspect of international policy since their debut.

Nuclear power is a type of nuclear technology involving the controlled use of nuclear fission to release energy for work including propulsion, heat, and the generation of electricity.

In 1965 the Cimarron Processing Facility was opened by Kerr-McGee ( owned through a subsidiary, Kerr-McGee Nuclear Corp .) to convert powdered uranium hexafluoride and plutonium into fuel pellets for use in the nation's nuclear power plants.

The Nuclear conflict between both countries is of passive strategic nature with Nuclear doctrine of Pakistan stating a first strike policy, although the strike would only be initiated if and only if, the Pakistan Armed Forces are unable to halt an invasion ( as for example in 1971 war ) or a nuclear strike is launched against Pakistan while India has a declared policy of No first use.

* 1986 – A nuclear reactor accident occurs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union ( now Ukraine ), creating the world's worst nuclear disaster.

John Rhinelander, a negotiator of the ABM treaty, predicted that the withdrawal would be a " fatal blow " to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and would lead to a " world without effective legal constraints on nuclear proliferation.

Eventually the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty banning underwater nuclear tests went into effect.

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament ( CND ) is an anti-nuclear organisation that advocates unilateral nuclear disarmament by the United Kingdom, international nuclear disarmament and tighter international arms regulation through agreements such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

B. Priestley on " Britain and the Nuclear Bombs ", which was critical of Aneurin Bevan for changing his mind about nuclear weapons and ceasing to advocate unilateral nuclear disarmament by Britain.

Organisations that had previously opposed British nuclear weapons supported CND, including the British Peace Committee, the Direct Action Committee, the National Committee for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons Tests and the Quakers.

When the Israeli nuclear program started later that decade, a location not far from the city was chosen for the Negev Nuclear Research Center due to its relative isolation in the desert and availability of housing.

The anti-nuclear movement has delayed construction or halted commitments to build some new nuclear plants, and has pressured the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to enforce and strengthen the safety regulations for nuclear power plants.

More recent campaigning by anti-nuclear groups has related to several nuclear power plants including the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Power Plant, Indian Point Energy Center, Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, Pilgrim Nuclear Generating Station, Salem Nuclear Power Plant, and Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant.

There have also been campaigns relating to the Y-12 Nuclear Weapons Plant, the Idaho National Laboratory, proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository, the Hanford Site, the Nevada Test Site, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and transportation of nuclear waste from the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

* 1971 – The first unit of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, the first commercial nuclear power station in Canada, goes online.

Ghana gets 97 % of its energy from damming lake Volta and exports much of this to neighboring countries, however organisations such as the Ghana Nuclear Society have advocated the introduction of nuclear power into Ghana and indeed the country now has an atomic energy commission.

< sup > 177 </ sup > Lu-DOTA-TATE is used for radionuclide therapy ( see Nuclear medicine ) on neuroendocrine tumours.

* Nuclear technology, applications of nuclear energy including nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and nuclear weapons

Management began liquidating the organization, but due to shareholder issues, instead acquired Nuclear Consultants, Inc., a nuclear medicine or nuclear industry services organization ( unclear ), and renamed the combined company " Nuclear Corporation of America, Inc ."

* Nuclear medicine-The laboratory's nuclear medicine research is focused on the development of improved reactor production and processing methods to provide medical radioisotopes, the development of new radionuclide generator systems, the design and evaluation of new radiopharmaceuticals for applications in nuclear medicine and oncology.

Nuclear medicine typically involves gamma rays.

Research and promotion of civil uses of radioactive materials, such as for nuclear non-destructive testing, nuclear medicine, and nuclear power, was split into the Office of Nuclear Energy, Science & Technology within ERDA by the same act.

* Nuclear medicine, including single photon emission computed tomography ( SPECT ) and positron emission tomography ( PET )

* Nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine encompasses both diagnostic imaging and treatment of disease, and may also be referred to as molecular medicine or molecular imaging & therapeutics.

Nuclear medicine uses certain properties of isotopes and the energetic particles emitted from radioactive material to diagnose or treat various pathology.

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Nuclear medicine, in a sense, is " radiology done inside out " or " endo-radiology " because it records radiation emitting from within the body rather than radiation that is generated by external sources like X-rays.

Nuclear medicine is a possible specialty for adapting to the new discipline of molecular medicine, because of its emphasis on function and its utilization of imaging agents that are specific for a particular disease process.
