One should not use a definite article when describing a nuclear war. There could be many nuclear wars or none at all.

However, to help prevent large amounts of casualties, a country may wish to have a large amount of patriot missiles to shoot down ICBMs and many bomb shelters for people to hide in.

There should be an adequate amount of roads so that material can be brought in large quantities easily.
