Nuclear Reactions : How Nuclear-Armed States Behave
Nuclear Reactions analyzes how nuclear weapons change the calculations states make in their foreign policies, why they do so, and why nuclear weapons have such different effects on the foreign policies of different countries.Mark S. Bell argues that nuclear weapons are useful for more than deterrence.They are leveraged to pursue a wide range of goals in international politics, and the nations that acquire them significantly change their foreign policies as a result.Closely examining how these effects vary and what those variations have meant in the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, Bell shows that countries are not generically "emboldened"—they change their foreign policies in different ways based on their priorities.This has huge policy implications: What would Iran do if it were to acquire nuclear weapons?Would Japanese policy toward the United States change if Japan were to obtain nuclear weapons? And what does the looming threat of nuclear weapons mean for the future of foreign policy?Far from being a relic of the Cold War, Bell argues, nuclear weapons are as important in international politics today as they ever were. Thanks to generous funding from the University of Minnesota and its participation in TOME, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes, available from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

What is nuclear fusion and what is nuclear mass?
Nuclear fusion is a process in which two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This process is the same reaction that powers the sun and other stars. Nuclear mass, on the other hand, refers to the total mass of an atomic nucleus, which is composed of protons and neutrons. The mass of a nucleus is slightly less than the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons, due to the binding energy that holds the nucleus together.

Why would nuclear waste be produced in nuclear fusion?
Nuclear waste is not produced in nuclear fusion. Unlike nuclear fission, which produces radioactive waste, nuclear fusion does not produce long-lived radioactive waste. In a fusion reaction, the fuel is typically isotopes of hydrogen, such as deuterium and tritium, and the main byproduct is helium. This makes nuclear fusion a much cleaner and safer form of nuclear energy production compared to nuclear fission.
-
What are your arguments against nuclear energy or nuclear power?
There are several arguments against nuclear energy or nuclear power. Firstly, there are concerns about the safety of nuclear power plants, as accidents like the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters have shown the devastating consequences of nuclear meltdowns. Additionally, the issue of nuclear waste disposal remains a major challenge, as radioactive waste can remain hazardous for thousands of years. Furthermore, the high cost of building and maintaining nuclear power plants, as well as the potential for nuclear proliferation and the risk of terrorist attacks on nuclear facilities, are also significant concerns.
-
How is nuclear fission initiated in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission is initiated in a nuclear power plant by bombarding uranium-235 or plutonium-239 atoms with neutrons. When a neutron strikes the nucleus of a uranium-235 or plutonium-239 atom, it causes the nucleus to become unstable and split into two smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This process also releases additional neutrons, which can then go on to strike other uranium-235 or plutonium-239 atoms, leading to a chain reaction that produces a continuous release of energy. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.

Nuclear Monopoly
Throughout the decades of the Cold War, people all around the world lived in fear of thermonuclear war.To assuage that fear theorists of deterrence explained over and over again that both sides had to be able to retaliate with "mutual assured destruction," to keep nuclear weapons from being used.Yet this "basic fact" of nuclear deterrence begs the question: What deterred the United States from a preemptive strike before 1949 when Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union had not yet acquired nuclear weapons of its own?In Nuclear Monopoly George Quester sets forth the case for preventive war using rudimentary atomic weapons to avoid the possibility of a future war in which both sides would have used hydrogen bombs. Quester demonstrates that the notion of mutual assured destruction was rooted in the questionable assumption that assured destruction must be mutual and that the United States "of course" would never consider preventive war.He explores the logic of these assumptions against the historical circumstances of the years 1945-1949 and the thinking of influential personalities and decision-makers that determined U.S. nuclear policy. In 1945 the United States was able to inflict nuclear destruction and had no fear of retaliation.Arguably the United States could have used that advantage to extract major political concessions from the Soviet Union, including surrender, disarmament, and democratization.At the same time it might have prevented the proliferation and development of nuclear weapons.Against this view Quester analyzes a range of prevailing views from practical and procedural considerations.These range from the shortage of bombs and other resources, ineffectiveness of bombing, Soviet resistance, and the vulnerability of Western Europe, to larger questions of American morality: absence of a casus belli, civilian casualties, and concern about untrammeled arrogance of power. With dissolution of the Soviet Union and the proliferation of nuclear weapons among small powers and rogue states, the failure to head off Soviet nuclear capacity takes on greater historical weight.The options of the next century will never be what they were from 1945-1949, but this study of the military and strategic decision-making provides important insights for future conflicts.Nuclear Monopoly will be of interest to military historians, policymakers, and political scientists.

How is the nuclear reaction started in a nuclear power plant?
In a nuclear power plant, the nuclear reaction is started by bombarding the fuel, usually uranium-235 or plutonium-239, with neutrons. When the fuel atoms absorb these neutrons, they become unstable and split into two smaller atoms, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which then drives turbines to generate electricity. This process is known as nuclear fission and is controlled by using control rods to absorb excess neutrons and regulate the reaction.

What is nuclear waste?
Nuclear waste is the byproduct of nuclear power generation and other nuclear applications. It consists of materials that have been contaminated by radioactive elements and are no longer useful for their original purpose. This waste can include spent nuclear fuel, contaminated equipment, and other materials that have been exposed to radiation. Nuclear waste is highly hazardous and requires careful handling and disposal to prevent harm to humans and the environment.

Is nuclear power sustainable?
Nuclear power is a controversial topic when it comes to sustainability. On one hand, nuclear power plants do not emit greenhouse gases during operation, making them a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. However, the long-term sustainability of nuclear power is debated due to concerns about nuclear waste disposal, the potential for accidents like Chernobyl or Fukushima, and the limited availability of uranium fuel. Additionally, the high costs of building and decommissioning nuclear power plants can also be a barrier to its long-term sustainability.
