(Askeri) NÜKLEER SİLAH: Önceden belirlenmiş kurma, toplama ve ateşleme sırasının tamamlanmasına bağlı olarak istenilen nükleer reaksiyonu ve enerjinin dışa salıverilmesini gerçekleştirecek kapasiteyi haiz amaçlanan nihai tasarımındaki tam bir parça (örneğin; içeride patlama tipi, top ile atılan tip, termonükleer tip)
officially Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapons Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space and Under Water Treaty that prohibits all tests of nuclear weapons except those conducted underground. U.S.-Soviet test-ban talks began after concerns arose in the 1940s and '50s about the dangers of radioactive fallout from aboveground nuclear tests. These talks made little progress until the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. In the following year, Britain, the U.S., and the Soviet Union signed the treaty, and more than 100 other governments soon followed. France and China were notable nonsignatories. In 1996 the treaty was replaced by the Comprehensive Test-Ban Treaty, which will not take effect until it is signed by all 44 countries with nuclear power plants. India refuses to do so on the ground that the treaty lacks disarmament provisions and permits nonexplosive testing. See also Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty
Class of nuclear weapons with a range of 620-3,400 mi (1,000-5,500 km). Some multiple warheads developed by the Soviet Union could strike several targets anywhere in Western Europe in less than 10 minutes. The U.S. could send a single nuclear warhead from central Europe to Moscow in less than 10 minutes. Both were regarded as offensive, first-strike weapons. U.S.-Soviet arms-control negotiations (1980-87) led to the intermediate nuclear forces (INF) treaty, signed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan, to completely remove and dismantle these and shorter-range weapons
A device, such as a bomb or warhead, whose great explosive power derives from the release of nuclear energy. or atomic weapon or thermonuclear weapon Bomb or other warhead that derives its force from either nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, or both and is delivered by an aircraft, missile, or other system. Fission weapons, commonly known as atomic bombs, release energy by splitting the nuclei of uranium or plutonium atoms; fusion weapons, known as hydrogen bombs or thermonuclear bombs, fuse nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes tritium or deuterium. Most modern nuclear weapons actually combine both processes. Nuclear weapons are the most potent explosive devices ever invented. Their destructive effects include not only a blast equivalent to thousands of tons of TNT but also blinding light, searing heat, and lethal radioactive fallout. The number of nuclear weapons reached its peak in the 1980s, when the U.S. had some 33,000 and the Soviet Union 38,000. Since the end of the Cold War both countries have decommissioned or dismantled thousands of warheads. Other declared nuclear powers are the United Kingdom, France, China, India, and Pakistan. Israel is widely assumed to possess nuclear weapons, and North Korea, Iran, and Iraq often have been accused of seeking to build them. Some countries, such as South Africa, Brazil, and Argentina, have acknowledged pursuing nuclear weapons in the past but have abandoned their programs.
