A nuclear weapon must be armed before it can be used. They are all built with safety mechanisms so they will not go off accidently or on impact after the crash of a delivery vehicle.
The four Department of Defense (DOD) nuclear weapon safety standards focus on preventing nuclear detonation, unauthorized launch, and accidental nuclear detonation. These standards require that nuclear weapons must always be safe from accidents, must be secure from unauthorized access, must ensure that no nuclear detonation occurs without proper authorization, and must maintain reliable performance under all conditions. These principles are fundamental to ensuring the safe handling, storage, and deployment of nuclear weapons.
Two nuclear membranes must form before telophase, as the nuclear envelope reforms around the individual sets of chromatids within each daughter cell.
Verify CCP, weapon loaded and safe.
I've never used one yet, but I must say that I can visualize an extreme situation or two in which I would authorize the use of nuclear weaponry, or push the button myself.
The Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) is a program designed to ensure the highest possible standards of individual reliability in personnel performing duties associated with nuclear weapons systems and critical components. It is intended to prevent the unauthorized launch of a missile or aircraft armed with a nuclear weapon, or the unauthorized detonation of a nuclear weapon. Personnel in the PRP must be certified
some one bad brains like the cans must have done it .
Yes. The nuclear arsenal of the United States is made so that it must be refurbished every three months or the nuclear warheads will not work. This is done by design so that if a weapon ever comes up missing, after a short time it will become just a large semi-radioactive paperweight. Other than that, If we did not continue to make nuclear weapons, Other countries who do still have nuclear weapons would be able to attack us with no worries about being hit themselves. Our threat of nuking other countries is what keeps our country safe from nuclear attack.
The powders must be granulated and mixed, and the capsule must be weighed before they are dispensed to a patient.
The term atomic bomb is a general one. It refers to any kind of nuclear weapon. But there are basically a couple of different types of nuclear weapon: the fission weapon, and the fusion weapon. (We can split hairs and add some, but let's not.) In a "regular" atomic or nuclear weapon, a fission weapon, subcritical masses of fissile material, usually plutonium, are driven together by conventional explosives and the thing goes off. Boom! There is fission, but no fusion. That differentiates this type of weapon from a fusion device. The term fusion deviceis used to talk about what used to be called the hydrogen bomb. The fusion weapon must have a fission device to create the heat necessary for fusion to occur, and it uses the fission bomb to "trigger" fusion in that light. If someone uses the term "fission bomb" in a presentation, they are not talking about the so-called hydrogen bomb or any fusion weapon - if they are using the term correctly.
