While the United States and the Soviet Union each developed robust first-and second-strike capabilities during the Cold War, the People's Republic of China pursued a doctrine of minimal nuclear deterrence.

While relations have improved and an intentional nuclear exchange is more unlikely, the decay in Russian nuclear capability in the post Cold War era may have had an effect on the continued viability of the MAD doctrine.

While Soviet deterrence doctrine posited massive responses to any nuclear use (" all against any "), military officials considered the possibility of proportionate responses to a limited U. S. attack, although they " doubted that nuclear war could remain limited for long.

While the opposition between Earth and Moon echoes the historical conflict between the United States and the British Empire, the way the Lunar rebels force Earth to acknowledge their independence is similar to the one they adopt in Dick's novel ( launching missiles, some with nuclear warheads, in an unpredictable fashion ).

While some proposed producing " clean " weapons, other theorists noted that one could make a nuclear weapon intentionally " dirty " by " salting " it with a material, which would generate large amounts of long-lasting fallout when irradiated by the weapon core.

While PSO initially wooed the citizens of Inola with the promises of economic growth and better schools, after the Three Mile Island accident, and accidents at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant, the people became disillusioned with the idea of housing such a facility in their backyards.

While the test gave a good approximation of many of the explosion's effects, it did not give an appreciable understanding of Nuclear fallout, which was not well understood by the project scientists until well after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

While touring with that book, she founded the Nuclear Policy Research Institute, headquartered in Washington, DC.

While it is theoretically possible for a mass that moves in one direction to have its momentum balanced by something other than a reaction mass ( e. g. see Nuclear photonic rocket ), there is no known theoretical mechanism for a mass to be moved one way while nothing moves the other way, at least in a flat spacetime.

S. Stiles also taught the first course in the U.
