A nuclear weapon is a device which derives its explosive energy
from fission or a combination of fission and fusion processes.
The energy is produced by splitting the nucleus of an atom, resulting
in a sustained chain reaction. Most modern nuclear weapons use
a combination of the two processes to create higher energy yields
in smaller bombs. These weapons are the most deadly ever invented,
but also the most difficult to manufacture or acquire. Production
requires a significant technical infrastructure and financial
investment: Obtaining weapons-grade nuclear material is difficult
and production facilities are necessarily large and highly visible.
At the end of the 20th century, only two nuclear weapons had
ever been employed operationally, those detonated over Hiroshima
and Nagasaki, Japan in August 1945. These two bombs resulted
in a combined fatality total of 105,000 human beings. Since then
tens of thousands of nuclear weapons have been built, many of
them a thousand times more powerful than the two used in 1945,
and many of these are ready to use at any time. Today, eight
countries in the world have these weapons and three others are
actively pursuing nuclear programs. At least three dozen nations
are technically capable of producing nuclear weapons. This proliferation
of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction is today considered
the single most serious threat to global security. The Treaty
on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear weapons restrains their spread.
In 1995 this agreement was extended indefinitely by the treaty
members, and was considered a major victory in international
efforts to combat proliferation.
This bibliography provides an overview of reference and research
materials on this topic, with an emphasis on materials available
in the Library of Congress and the World Wide Web. A related
title in the series is Chemical and Biological Warfare, 03-1.
Not intended as a comprehensive bibliography, it is designed
-- as the name Tracer Bullet implies -- to put the reader “on
target.”
