Nuclear weapons are fearsome, but the long-range ballistic missile gives them a stealth and merciless swiftness which is much more terrifying.

Nuclear fission produces energy for nuclear power and to drive the explosion of nuclear weapons.

Nuclear fission weapons must use an extremely high quality, highly-enriched fuel exceeding the critical size and geometry ( critical mass ) in order to obtain an explosive chain reaction.

Nuclear weapons are designed to operate under this state.

Nuclear fission weapons require a mass of fissile fuel that is prompt supercritical.

* Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, an international treaty, opened for signature on July 1, 1968 to limit the spread of nuclear weapons

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

Nuclear disarmament refers to both the act of reducing or eliminating nuclear weapons and to the end state of a nuclear-free world, in which nuclear weapons are completely eliminated.

Critics of nuclear disarmament say that it would undermine deterrence, and if nuclear weapons were completely eliminated, it would destroy the current Nuclear peace the world is experiencing and would make the large Conventional wars, common before the Nuclear age, far more likely.

* Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ( NPT )— signed 1968, came into force 1970: An international treaty ( currently with 189 member states ) to limit the spread of nuclear weapons.

Colloids have been suspected for the long-range transport of plutonium on the Nevada Nuclear Test Site.

However, several CND members and supporters have stood for election at various times as Independent Nuclear Disarmament candidates.

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.

However, since Einstein's death, experiments analogous to the one described in the EPR paper have been carried out, starting in 1976 by French scientists Lamehi-Rachti and Mittig at the Saclay Nuclear Research Centre.

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.

Nuclear mines have also been developed, both land and naval varieties.

Nuclear tests at Enewatak have left islanders there suffering from Cancer and birth defects.

Nuclear reactors generally have automatic and manual systems to shut the fission reaction down if unsafe conditions are detected.

Nuclear reactors have been launched into Earth orbit at least 34 times.

While the vast majority of states have adhered to the stipulations of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, a few states have either refused to sign the treaty or have pursued nuclear weapons programs while not being members of the treaty.

As a consequence of this Altfed and Cimbala have argued that belief in Nuclear Winter has made Nuclear Warfare more plausible and not less, contrary to what Carl Sagan and others have argued, for Nuclear Winter inspired the technological imperative toward improved accuracy and weaponry.

Nuclear particles like protons and neutrons are not destroyed in fission and fusion processes, but collections of them have less mass than if they were individually free, and this mass difference is liberated as heat and radiation in nuclear reactions ( the heat and radiation have the missing mass, but it often escapes from the system, where it is not measured ).

Mahmood, as an engineer, is an experienced atomic scientist and engineer who is known to have largely contributed in the formative years of Pakistan's Nuclear Industry ( PNI ).

Nuclear warheads for torpedoes have also been developed, e. g. the Mark 45 torpedo.

Nuclear whistleblowers and truck drivers have 180 days to make complaints to OSHA.

Nuclear weapons have been detonated on over two thousand occasions for testing purposes and demonstrations.

Nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) is the name given to a physical resonance phenomenon involving the observation of specific quantum mechanical magnetic properties of an atomic nucleus in the presence of an applied, external magnetic field.

* In science-fiction stories Samolot von Ribbentrop ( Von Ribbentrop's plane ) and Atomowa Ruletka ( Nuclear Roulette ) by Polish writer Andrzej Pilipiuk, " red mercury reactors " are used as highly efficient power sources, although no further information about either the substance or said reactors is given.

Two reactors in Fukui Prefecture were given the names of bodhisattvas: Monju Nuclear Power Plant and Fugen Nuclear Power Plant.

Both the END Conventions and the UK END group went into decline in the late 1980s after the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty removed the weapons that had given the European peace movement its raison d ’ etre – though the conventions continued until 1991 ( in Moscow ) and END in the UK turned itself in 1989 into European Dialogue, a pressure group for encouraging the development of democracy and civil society, which is still going.

Nuclear energy industry figures and analysts responded to Cuomo's initiative by questioning whether replacement electrical plants could be certified and built rapidly enough to replace Indian Point, given New York state's " cumbersome regulation process ", and also noted that replacement power from out of state sources will be hard to obtain because " New York has weak ties to generation capacity in other states.

In April 2008, Marvin Yoder, a consultant on the reactor, said that Toshiba was planning to make the application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2009, and that if approval had been given in 2010 or 2011, the reactor could have been operational by 2012 or 2013.

Nuclear cross sections are used in determining the nuclear reaction rate, and are governed by the reaction rate equation for a particular set of particles ( usually viewed as a " beam and target " thought experiment where one particle or nucleus is the " target " at rest and the other is treated as a " beam " with a given energy ).

India is the only country to be given such a status due to its impeccable record of Nuclear non proliferation.

Unsuccessful death-threats were given to Markus Staiger at Nuclear Blast to reveal the identity of the anonymous musician who had created the album, although the identity of the musician was later revealed as Jayson Sherlock.
