Publisher's Synopsis
An arms race occurs when two or more countries increase the size and quality of military resources to gain military and political superiority over one another. The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union is perhaps the largest and most expensive arms race in history; however, others have occurred, often with dire consequences.
In this Nuclear Energy book, the primary concerns are what to do with residual nuclear arsenals and their sensitive nuclear materials: that is, how to reduce the risk of nuclear accidents, and how to eliminate unnecessary military systems and materials. It's one thing to publically favor nuclear reductions; it's another (not so straightforward) matter to actually implement permanent reductions.
This book also identifies and evaluates residual effects of the Cold War, especially consequences related to nuclear weapons and their peacetime evolution. It provides a knowledgeable assessment of current risks and future potential of industrialized nuclear technology and inherited nuclear weapons.
