Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

North Korea has demonstrated actions that represent a global, humanitarian, and regional threat. The global threat is based upon their threat of using nuclear weapons against other distant coun-tries. The regional issue comes from their aggressive threats to countries in the area. The hu-manitarian threat however, is the most pressing of the three, because it involves aggression against their own defenseless citizens that is currently occurring. Many people in North Korea are put into camps as…

Uranium is the element that I chose to write about. Uranium is a element that is a naturally radioactive element that comes in a silverish metal when it’s pure. Uranium quickly oxidizes in air and it can be used to color glass that glows greenish - yellow under a blacklight. Uranium is one of the key ingredients in atomic bombs. Only 1.38% of the uranium in the bomb “Little Boy” detonated over Hiroshima underwent fission and there was 140 pounds of Uranium in total. Uranium is an element that…

control of U.S. nuclear weapons is shared through the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) by the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Energy (DOE). A 1983 DOD-DOE Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed by the secretaries of defense and energy, reaffirmed “the obligation of the DOD and the DOE to protect public health and safety provides the basic premise for dual-agency judgment and responsibility for safety, security, and control of nuclear weapons.” (The Nuclear…

Speaking the word "Los Alamos" usually conjours up one thing in the minds of many people everywhere: the desert wilderness in New Mexico that was the epicenter for the development of the first atomic bombs used in history. However, today, the city of Los Alamos has grown into a notable destination for tourist attractions for nature lovers and students of history as well. A national park, two noted museums with another underway, numerous natural scenic parks, canyons and trails all make for an…

interpreted as the jolt of the game or it maybe it means that the Fallout 3 is full of energy or the game full of technology which requires some electricity. And from signifier that stated ‘the radioactive particles that settle to the ground after a nuclear explosion’ which adding a bolt in the center, mean that the bolt reserves as the warning that the word ‘fallout’ contains hazardous elements on it. And in other perception the literary meaning of ‘fallout’ stated ‘a bunker to protect from…

Uranium is a radioactive element used for power and nuclear weapons. Many people might not know anything about the element and what it can do to human bodies, cities, and countries. I chose this topic because uranium is an incredibly powerful element that can have major consequences, and I want to explain why we should not use it in today’s world. After World War II, uranium became a huge scientific development on finding out how powerful it is, what it can be used for, and how it can be…

The final book in Butler’s Lilith’s Brood series is Imago, a word which initially brought to my mind imago dei. However, a more interesting connection might be in the biological definition of “imago”. In this framework, “imago” refers to “an insect in its final, adult, sexually mature, and typically winged state” ; the imago stage is the final one before metamorphosis is complete. I wonder if Butler had this idea in mind when naming the last book in her trilogy; she certainly engages many…

North Korea, the country whose leader is now referred to as “Rocket Man” has held a oppressive regime for more than seventy years, and now thinks that it can threaten the UN and its members. The country is and has been threatening the United States with not only ballistic missile but now they also threaten with Hydrogen bombs (Winsor). US government officials claim that they have tried to negotiate with North Korea, but the foreign officials refuse to listen (Winsor). While President Trump’s…

first nuclear reactor, which later on made way for the atomic and hydrogen bombs. Currently, nine countries are in possession of nuclear weapons. This is enough nuclear capability to wipe out the human race completely. This is what is worrisome. During the Cold War, we saw a considerable increase of nuclear armament in the United States and Russia. A most welcomed change occurred in 1987 when American President Ronald Reagan and former Soviet Union president Mikhail Gorbachev signed a treaty…

Hanford sits on a site in Southwestern Washington that is approximately 586- square miles of desert. Hanford began in 1943 building nuclear reactor plants to produce plutonium for the bomb that would end World War II. In the mid 1800’s according to the Hanford’s history site, the War Department decided to locate the Manhattan Project to this part of Washington and kept the work of developing the atomic weapons secret. So, all residents of Hanford and White Bluff were told to leave, given a…
