In the US it was originally the AEC, now it is the DOE.
nuclear deterrence - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will attack you back with nuclear weaponsmutual assured destruction - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will totally destroy you with nuclear weapons and if I attack you with nuclear weapons then you will totally destroy me with nuclear weapons - thus any nuclear attack by either party will result in the certain destruction of both parties
fifth rank in nuclear weapons
Egypt is not believed or suspected to have nuclear weapons, or a nuclear weapons program, at this time (May 2009). See Related Link for a discussion of the world's nuclear powers.
There were no nuclear weapons in WW1. The nuclear bomb was not invented until WW2.
No nuclear weapons were used in the korean war
All the facilities used by the US to prepare the materials for nuclear weapons, build nuclear weapons, design and test new nuclear weapons. This is all lead by the Department Of Energy.
The force responsible for the release of energy in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons is nuclear fission. This process involves splitting of atomic nuclei, which releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is the US government agency responsible for regulating nuclear power plants. They oversee the safety and security of nuclear facilities to protect public health and the environment.
The United States Department of Energy is responsible for the government's energy policy including the handling of energy production, energy conservation, as well as nuclear reactors, weapons, and waste. The agency also researches many physical sciences including genomics.
Those that are nuclear, such as the nuclear bombs.
Zambia does not have nuclear weapons.
In nuclear weapons depots.
Nuclear weapons' yield is derived primarily from fission. Thermonuclear weapon's yield is derived mainly from fusion. Thermonuclear weapons are multistage weapons -- x-rays from a nuclear primary trigger are used to trigger ablation in the pusher of the secondary to compress it, which is responsible for the fusion reaction.
Nuclear weapons are weapons which are fueled by nuclear energy. Examples of weapons that can be fueled by nuclear energy are missile warheads and bombs.
I presume you mean the US Atomic Energy Commission? This was broken into two parts: the promotional aspects to be handled by the Department of Energy, and the regulatory aspects by the National Regulatory Commission (see www.nrc.gov)
Yes, they are nuclear weapons.
NO. Afghanistan does not have nuclear weapons, nor did it have nuclear weapons at any time, nor has it been accused by other countries of having nuclear weapons. Afghanistan is also a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, for what that's worth.
