No. The nuclear weapon stockpile of both major nuclear powers, US and Russia, has been decreasing since the end of cold war. However, when Bush administration came to power it reversed the previous policy of continuing disarmament causing further reductions to cease. Then Bush administration withdrew from the ABM treaty prompting Russia to withdraw from the START 2 nuclear arms limitation treaty. Now both countries are considering new types of nuclear weapons for the first time since the end of cold war, rather than continuing on the path to disarmament that would have included START 2 and the planned START 3 and, eventually, the total elimination of nuclear weapons as was agreed in the NPT treaty.

Positives about nuclear energy?
Using nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, it is technically possible to fulfill the ancient alchemist's infamous objective of turning lead into gold. This is because an element that undergoes a nuclear transformation is actually completely transformed into a whole new element, though it isn't commercially feasible to produce gold from nuclear processes. The Nuclear Club, the group of nine countries that have successfully detonated nuclear weapons, includes: United States (est 4,750 - 5,535 warheads), Russia (est 5,200 - 8,800 warheads), the United Kingdom (est 200 warheads), France (est 350 warheads), China (est 400 warheads), India (est 140 warheads), Pakistan (est 60 warheads), North Korea (est 5 warheads), and Israel (est 150 warheads). Only the first five members on this list are part of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!!!! LOVE CAITLIN JORDAN :)))
How big is a ICBM explosion?
That depends on what type of warhead its equipped with. ICBM's are usually fitted with Nuclear warheads which cause massive destruction such as being able to level an entire city say the size of New York or Los Angeles in a single blast. However that said ICBM's just as easily be fitted with non-nuclear warheads and these have several different levels of explosive yield. To answer this simply. With a non-nuclear warhead: Big explosion. With a nuclear warhead: Gigantic.
Does dillan's candy shop in new york city have warheads?
Yes, Dylan's Candy Bar in NYC has warheads Yes, Dylan's Candy Bar in NYC has warheads
Can you still build nuclear power plants in the us?
Yes, there are plans to build new stations in the US. See the NRC website www.nrc.gov for details of new licence applications.
What is the definition of the DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex?
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.
Where in the US did scientists build nuclear weapons?
During WW2, the Manhatton project was accomplished in New Mexico.
Does India have Nuclear Weapons?
India is not a Party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. India tested what it called a "peaceful nuclear explosive" in 1974 (which became known as "Smiling Buddha"). The test was the first test developed after the creation of the NPT, and created new questions about how civilian nuclear technology could be diverted secretly to weapons purposes (dual-use technology). Though India maintained that its nuclear capability was primarily "peaceful", it apparently weaponized two dozen nuclear weapons for delivery by air between 1988 and 1990. But it was not until 1998 that India tested weaponized nuclear warheads ("Operation Shakti"), including a thermonuclear device. And it is estimated that India has 80-100 nuclear warheads (might not be active).
Where do they build atomic bombs in the us?
Nuclear weapons in the US are all refurbished at PANTEX just east of Amarillo, TX. No new nuclear weapons are built at this time by the US.
Name the Indian made nuclear powered submarine?
INS Arihant is the first of the new Indian Navy submarines.Two more of the same design are currently being built, to be launched in 2010 1nd 2011 repectively. There are plans to build another two to make five in total.
Is building a nuclear power station the right route for the UK?
It seems sensible to at least build enough new plant to replace the AGR's as they are decommissioned, and keep the fraction of nuclear at around 20 percent
Can nuclear energy be used right away?
Nuclear power is being used all the time, in the US and many other countries. If you decide to build a new plant, it obviously takes several years to come on stream
What are the aims of specialization in nuclear physics?
The aims of specialization in nuclear physics are the same as that for every field of work: to focus the efforts within a given field into solving the most pressing questions, concerns, and issues that are currently around. Some current specializations within nuclear physics include radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, nuclear fission, and the production of new elements and isotopes.
