(a) Authentication of warheads and components to establish that an item declared to be a nuclear warhead or a component from a nuclear warhead is consistent with those declarations

While slowly retiring multiple warhead land based nuclear missiles, it was building up single warhead missiles.

So, that was the result. It was Mike, the first thermonuclear bomb, in 1952.

Half of that is coming from dismantled warheads from Russia, soon to be joined by our dismantled warheads.

The destruction of some old nuclear warheads has been overshadowed by the equipping of remaining warheads with more precision in targeting.

Nuclear warheads still number in the thousands.

In these launching silos there were 104 intercontinental ballistic missiles, each of which was equipped with a nuclear warhead.

You were tending me and this shell exploded in the trees over our head and this hot steel went spraying all over the place.

In addition, the United States and Russia will seek to incorporate measures relating to the transparency of strategic nuclear warhead inventories and the destruction of strategic nuclear warheads ... .

There are, however, still around 30,000 nuclear warheads in the world.

Ten percent of American electricity comes from decommissioned warheads.

They're available to be bought, stolen, whatever.

Just three years ago, this missile force comprised 50 ICBMs, each capable of carrying 10 nuclear warheads.

In addition, thermography3 has been used to study the heat emission from warheads and components.

Indeed, according to the latest estimates, the number of existing nuclear warheads exceeded 30,000 nearly equal to the estimated number of warheads existing at the time the Treaty had entered into force and stocks of fissile material at their current level were sufficient to produce thousands more nuclear warheads.

Verification of nuclear disarmament final report on studies into the verification of nuclear warheads and their components

Buy gold. It'll cost you three nuclear warheads.

So by 1985 each of those red bombs up here is equivalent of a thousands warheads the world had 65,000 nuclear warheads, and seven members of something that came to be known as the nuclear club.

After the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a large number of nuclear weapons strategic missiles with multiple warheads, which in the West were given the sinister name Satan , long range bombers and their atomic and thermonuclear charges remained in the territory of the Republic.

We have been taking down the Russian warheads, turning it into electricity.

That agreement, once implemented, would reduce the number of deployed United States and Russian strategic warheads to a level of 2,000 to 2,500. This would constitute approximately an 80 per cent reduction from peak cold war levels and go significantly beyond START II, which already requires reductions of more than two thirds.

This film shows the testing of a new explosive fill on a warhead.

The lifetime of a number of warheads had been or would be extended, while funding had been granted for research into a reliable replacement warhead and requested for a Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator.

8. Calls upon nuclear weapon States to implement the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons commitments to apply the principle of irreversibility by destroying their nuclear warheads in the context of strategic nuclear reductions and avoid keeping them in a state that lends itself to their possible redeployment

We began to counter proliferate, and we dropped the number of nuclear warheads in the world to about a total of 21,000.

The following additional procedures for sampling and analysis were introduced by UNMOVIC in the light of this experience

Yet today there are still more than 30,000 nuclear warheads with inconceivable destructive potential.

For this phase, warheads were followed, from their receipt to their breakdown into component parts, with environmental and non destructive assay data taken at each stage.

Unilateral nuclear disarmament measures should be pursued vigorously and should go well beyond the non deployment of warheads.

The measures taken under the START I and II agreements were not enough, because the parties concerned would still be allowed to retain 3,000 nuclear warheads and there was no plan to destroy even those that had been dismantled.

With regard to Al Hussein missile warheads filled with biological warfare agents and later unilaterally destroyed by Iraq, in 1992 inspectors verified the number of fragments which Iraq declared to have been from chemical warheads.

In 1998, UNSCOM decided to re examine through sampling and analysis unilaterally destroyed special warheads for Al Hussein missiles.

Iraq unearthed and UNMOVIC verified remnants which included eight intact bombs and various bomb components such as base plates, tails and nose cones that, in total, accounted for 104 bombs.

The reductions in the numbers of deployed strategic nuclear warheads envisaged by the Treaty of Moscow represent a positive step in the process of nuclear de escalation.

Now, these fire heatseeking airtoair missiles.

Generally speaking, it is believed that nuclear warheads need to be overhauled within a period of 5 to 10 years.

We're all hot.

In that respect, the verification goal would be to provide independent confirmation of, inter alia, the size and disposition of the declared warhead stockpile, the production dismantlement rate of warheads and precursor components, plus inventories and movements of fissile material.

18.3 Phases and steps for the systematic and progressive destruction of all nuclear warheads and their delivery vehicles

Using a verification system employing a combination of non destructive assay sensors measuring many warhead attributes or templates,7 it has proved possible to discriminate between different types of warhead or component.

In the United Kingdom, the submarine launched Trident missile, equipped with three to four warheads, was the only remaining operational nuclear weapon system.

8. Calls upon the nuclear weapon States to implement the commitments made in the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,United Nations, Treaty Series, vol. 729, No. 10485. as well as in other nuclear disarmament or reductions agreements or initiatives, and to apply the principle of irreversibility by destroying their nuclear warheads and avoid keeping them in a state that lends itself to their possible redeployment

3. Urges the nuclear weapon States to stop immediately the qualitative improvement, development, production and stockpiling of nuclear warheads and their delivery systems

5. Urges the nuclear weapon States to stop immediately the qualitative improvement, development, production and stockpiling of nuclear warheads and their delivery systems

While welcoming reductions in strategic nuclear warheads, Norway underlines the need for verifiable, transparent and irreversible reductions.
