Throughout their account of the evolution of nuclear policy, from its origin to the early Trump presidency, the authors interweave clear technical expositions of the science and technology that underpin and constrain it. The book begins by tracing the early work in atomic physics, the discovery of fission, and the developments that led to the Manhattan Project and the delivery of atomic bombs against Japan that ended World War II. It follows the initial failed attempts at nuclear disarmament, the onset of the Cold War nuclear arms competition, and the development of light water reactors to harness nuclear energy for electric power generation. The authors thoroughly unpack the problem of nuclear proliferation, examining the strategy and incentives for states that have and have not pursued nuclear weapons, and providing an overview of the nuclear arsenals of the current nuclear weapon states. They trace the technical, political and strategic evolution of deterrence, arms control and disarmament policies from the first attempt | 出版日期 | Textbook 2021 | 关键词 | nuclear security textbook; nuclear enrichment; atomic energy commission; arms control measures; nuclear | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-75085-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-75087-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-75085-5 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 |
