Reliably replacing warheads: Newer and fewer

Posted by Matt in March 8th, 2007

But Congress may still have doubts about modernising America’s bombs

WHEN George Bush first took office, he said he wanted to reduce the size of America’s stockpile of nuclear warheads to the lowest number consistent with America’s security and that of its allies. But since then Mr Bush has attracted controversy, rather than committed arms-controllers, to his cause. On March 2nd the National Nuclear Security Administration, the bit of the Energy Department that looks after America’s bombs, announced the winner of a competition between weapons laboratories to design a “reliable replacement warhead” (RRW). If Congress gives the nod and the money, development could get under way next year. But why build more bombs if you want fewer of them? And what will all this mean for America’s vast weapons complex?

Superman IV - Nuclear Man vs. Superman full uncut fight
Here for your viewing pleasure is the full uncut battle around the world between Superman and Nuclear Man from Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. The theatrical (and DVD) version of the film omits the tornado and Moscow Red Square sequences but does include them as deleted scenes in workprint form with unfinished special effects and temp music. Taken from a UK TV version of the film, here is the full battle containing those scenes with finished effects and Alexander Courage's fantastic score.

Should Google Go Nuclear? Clean, cheap, nuclear power...
Google Tech Talks November 9, 2006 ABSTRACT This is not your father's fusion reactor! Forget everything you know about conventional thinking on nuclear fusion: high-temperature plasmas, steam turbines, neutron radiation and even nuclear waste are a thing of the past. Goodbye thermonuclear fusion; hello inertial electrostatic confinement fusion (IEC), an old idea that's been made new. While the international community debates the fate of the politically-turmoiled $12 billion ITER (an experimental thermonuclear reactor), simple IEC reactors are being built as high-school science fair projects. Dr. Robert Bussard, former Asst. Director of the Atomic Energy Commission and founder of Energy Matter...
