There was reason to believe that Premier Khrushchev was also concerned about a possible spread of nuclear weapons, particularly to Communist China.

Finally, there was a wide area of agreement on the value of the President's making a final effort in the summit spotlight for a nuclear test accord.

Only after 1915, with the suggestion and evidence that this Z number was also the nuclear charge and a physical characteristic of atoms, did the word and its English equivalent atomic number come into common use.

Although americium was likely produced in previous nuclear experiments, it was first intentionally synthesized, isolated and identified in late autumn 1944, at the University of California, Berkeley by Glenn T. Seaborg, Leon O. Morgan, Ralph A. James, and Albert Ghiorso.

Americium was detected in the fallout from the Ivy Mike nuclear test.

Angst was probably first discussed in relation to popular music in the mid-to late 1950s that was popular amongst the nuclear disarmament and antiwar protester subculture.

* The current world record was set in 1999 at 100 picokelvins ( pK ), or 0. 000 000 000 1 of a kelvin, by cooling the nuclear spins in a piece of rhodium metal.

However, this was the temperature of one particular degree of freedom a quantum property called nuclear spin not the overall average thermodynamic temperature for all possible degrees in freedom.

Following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Carl Sagan and other scientists predicted that burning oil wells could cause environmental damage comparable to nuclear winter.

The discrepancy is a factor of 2. 4 ― 4. 3 below the theoretically predicted value and is considered a problem for the original models, that have resulted in revised calculations of the standard BBN based on new nuclear data, and to various reevaluation proposals for primordial proton-proton nuclear reactions, especially the intensities of < sup > 7 </ sup > Be ( n, p )< sup > 7 </ sup > Li versus < sup > 7 </ sup > Be ( d, p )< sup > 8 </ sup > Be.

The Soviets believed they could win, not only a nuclear war, but also the conventional war that they predicted would follow after their strategic nuclear arsenal had been depleted.

In 1956, he published the booklet 1975 in Prophecy !, which predicted an upcoming nuclear war and subsequent enslavement of mankind, leading to the return of Jesus Christ.

Quantum mechanics predicts that certain physical phenomena, such as the nuclear decay of atoms, are fundamentally random and cannot, in principle, be predicted ( for a discussion of empirical verification of quantum unpredictability, see Bell test experiments.

It was predicted that if the nuclear spin were I, then the magnetic field would split the beam into ( 2I + 1 ) beamlets.

Applying the method to hydrogen, they found that the moment of a proton was 2. 785 ± 0. 02 nuclear magnetons, and not 1 as predicted by the current theory, while that of a deuteron was 0. 855 ± 0. 006 nuclear magnetons.

Some media reports predicted that thanks to the giant nuclear power stations of the near future electricity would soon become much cheaper and that electricity meters would be removed, because power would be " too cheap to meter.

* The Economist predicted that in the years after 2009 the United Kingdom will suffer an energy crisis due to its commitments to reduce coal-fired power stations, its politicians ' unwillingness to set up new nuclear power stations to replace those that will be de-commissioned, and unreliable sources and sources that are running out of oil and gas.

Cleve Cartmill predicted a chain-reaction-type nuclear bomb in his 1944 science-fiction story " Deadline ", which led to the FBI investigating him, due to concern over a potential breach of security on the Manhattan Project.

Schumacher predicted the rise of OPEC and many of the problems of nuclear power.

The game is based around the idea that a group of American industrialists predicted the coming of an apocalyptic nuclear war, and began to create a plan for an emergency operations and reconstruction infrastructure that would survive that war.

It was a two-staged nuclear weapon that had a predicted yield of about one megaton.

The conditions under which a natural nuclear reactor could exist had been predicted in 1956 by Paul Kazuo Kuroda.
