* 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.

* Nuclear cardiology: The use of nuclear medicine to visualize the uptake of an isotope by the heart using radioactive sources.

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.

Mountbatten expressed his feelings towards the use of nuclear weapons in combat in his article " A Military Commander Surveys The Nuclear Arms Race ", which was published shortly after his death in International Security in the winter of 1979 – 80.

* 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.

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 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 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.

Nuclear medicine tests differ from most other imaging modalities in that diagnostic tests primarily show the physiological function of the system being investigated as opposed to traditional anatomical imaging such as CT or MRI.

Nuclear medicine imaging studies are generally more organ or tissue specific ( e. g.: lungs scan, heart scan, bone scan, brain scan, etc.

It has been argued that some aspects of ICF research may violate the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty or the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Subsequently, Rickover became chief of a new section in the Bureau of Ships, the Nuclear Power Division, and began work with Alvin M. Weinberg, the Oak Ridge director of research, both to establish the Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology and to begin the design of the pressurized water reactor for submarine propulsion.

In November 2006, in the midst of charges leveled at Taleyarkhan as regards his research standards, Dr. Edward R. Forringer and undergraduates David Robbins and Jonathan Martin of LeTourneau University presented two papers at the American Nuclear Society Winter Meeting that reported replication of neutron emission during a visit to the meta-stable fluids research lab at Purdue University.

Doubts at Purdue University's Nuclear Engineering faculty as to whether the positive results reported from sonofusion experiments conducted there were truthful prompted the university to initiate a review of the research, conducted by Purdue's Office of the Vice President for Research.

In 1955, future physics Nobel prize laureate Louis Néel created the Grenoble Center for Nuclear Studies ( CENG ), resulting in the birth of the Grenoble model, a combination of research and industry.

Other research centres in or near Grenoble include the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility ( ESRF ), the Institut Laue-Langevin ( ILL ), the European Molecular Biology Laboratory ( EMBL ), and one of the Commissariat à l ' Énergie Atomique ( Nuclear Energy Commission )( CEA ) main research facilities.
