Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis plus d'un demi-siècle, le risque d'un conflit nucléaire représente une menace permanente pour l'ensemble de l'humanité. À travers la crise des fusées de Cuba, l'armement d'Israël, l'explosion indienne, l'équipement du Pakistan, le démantèlement des armes sud-africaines, la découverte du programme clandestin de l'Irak, ou encore la crise nord-coréenne, la façon dont cette menace a pu être contenue constitue la trame de l'histoire des relations internationales depuis 1945. Alors que le droit d'acquérir n'importe quel type d'arme semblait partie intégrante des attributions d'un État, l'interdiction de fabriquer un engin nucléaire explosif est aujourd'hui presque totale, et le 10 mai 1995, cette révolution a conduit 178 pays à décider l'extension du Traité de non-prolifération pour une période indéfinie. Ce succès reste fragile : que vaut un traité face aux ambitions d'un État ? Comment empêcher la fabrication clandestine d'armes nucléaires ? Peut-on amener des pays récalcitrants à adhérer à un traité ? Après la fin de la guerre froide, quelles structures, quelles institutions permettront de réduire, et un jour d'éliminer la menace nucléaire ? Georges Le Guelte a été adjoint au directeur des Relations internationales du Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et de 1978 à 1982 secrétaire du Conseil des gouverneurs de l'Agence internationale de l'énergie atomique à Vienne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vladimir Poutine finira-t-il par utiliser l’arme nucléaire en Ukraine ? Si oui, que cela signifie-t-il concrètement ? Quelles sont les conditions et les conséquences d’une telle frappe ? Et, plus important encore, est-ce une première depuis Hiroshima ? On l’oublie, mais l’humanité a, depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, connu bien des crises du même ordre. Voici une histoire totale et inédite des instants où la planète manqua d’être détruite. Des bombes atomiques au Japon en 1945 à la récente escalade entre la Russie et l’Otan, en passant par la crise du détroit de Formose entre Taïwan et la Chine populaire, Dien Bien Phu, celle des missiles de Cuba ou encore la guerre du Kippour, Jean-Marc Le Page dévoile les coulisses des moments où l’humanité retint son souffle. Au cours de cette enquête sans précédent, on croise les principaux dirigeants des soixante-dix dernières années – Truman, Staline, de Gaulle, Mao, Trump, Biden et bien sûr Poutine – mais aussi des femmes et hommes des services secrets, méconnus et géniaux qui ont parfois permis d’éviter le pire. Odyssée glaçante et fascinante, ce livre est aussi une contribution sur les doctrines nucléaires, lesquelles éclairent de façon décisive la seconde moitié du XXe siècle.
Download or read book Risques menaces et dissuasion nucl aire fran aise written by Aurélia Bortolin and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce premier ouvrage s'affiche délibérément dans un registre unissant les trois thèmes porteurs de la collection, l'Histoire, les Identités, les Représentations. Cela au travers d'un thème grave, celui des risques, des menaces qui pèsent sur la société française du début du XXIe siècle. Il s'appuie sur un examen attentif des Identités, de ces caractères fondamentaux des groupes, des "foules", qui permettent de les guider, voire de les manipuler. Il analyse les Représentations du nucléaire insufflées à cette foule. Sa conclusion est sévère : quelle est, au fond, la véritable menace ?

Book excerpt: Larme nucléaire a été, pendant plus de soixante-dix ans une arme de dissuasion ; une arme de non-emploi. En sera-t-il toujours ainsi au cours des quatre-vingts ans qui nous séparent du vingt-deuxième siècle ? L'examen rigoureux de différents scenarios tente de limiter la part d'incertitude. Si cet essai laisse entrevoir des risques immenses, il ne se conclut pas sans donner des clés pour éviter le pire.
Download or read book Nuclear Energy written by B. van der Zwaan and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear energy will inevitably become an important issue worldwide in the 21st century. It pollutes the environment, with consequences that are highly controversial; and it generates plutonium ? the essential component of nuclear weapons. At the same time, it is a realistic alternative to at least some of the expected huge increase in global demand for fossil-fuel burning, which itself is a major source of environmental pollution, and not least of ?greenhouse? gases.This invaluable book attempts to provide, for the non-technical reader, an objective and critical account of the main issues involved. The authors are authorities in their own fields, and their contributions have been read in manuscript, discussed and criticised by a wider, international group of experts. Thus, whilst much of its contents may arouse controversy, the book should be an excellent starting point for informed public discussion of a vitally important topic.

Download or read book Treating Victims of Weapons of Mass Destruction written by Patrick Barriot and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-06-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last century, the weapons of war became increasingly sophisticated and their effects ever more remote from the actual user. Militarization of nuclear atomic forces, chemicals and biological agents has considerably enlarged the arena of warfare, but of possibly even greater concern is the threat of such agents being deployed by terrorists. This book was originally published in French in 2004: subsequent events, such as the London bombings in July 2005, have only reinforced the importance of all doctors and emergency personnel understanding the various agents that could be used and having the knowledge to deal with victims of an attack or even an industrial accident. The book has therefore been translated into English to make it available to a wider audience. The book was coordinated by Chantal Bismuth, Professor of Medicine who has acted as an advisor for the Minister of Health in France and is an international consultant in toxicology. Her co-editor, Patrick Barriot, is an anaesthetist with operational experience in the Paris Fire Brigade and the 11th division of Paratroops who is now responsible for the department of ‘Biological risks from new technologies’. The authors are representative of the doctors who would have to deal with the human casualties of warfare or a terrorist attack. They review all weapons of mass destruction, both chemical and biological, including the use of bacteria, anthrax and viruses such as variola and influenza. In each case, they describe the pathogenic agent, the human consequences, organizational aspects of care for the victims and best practice for treatment. As one author reports, “The infections caused by potential biological warfare agents are seldom taught in the course of medical studies and the majority of physicians never encounter these types of pathology in their daily professional practice. Since its eradication, people are not trained to recognize smallpox or to make the differential diagnosis between anthrax and bronchitis.” Other chapters cover the effects of nuclear weapons and radiation on humans as well as the features of Gulf War syndrome. An important chapter deals with the organization of medical responses to chemical or biological attack: “Planning, equipping, and training responder services are the best responses to the dispersion of chemical and biological agents.” The book addresses all those involved in the security of the civilian population, the organization of rescue services and the treatment of victims.

Download or read book Getting MAD Nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction Its Origins and Practice written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 40 years after the concept of finite deterrence was popularized by the Johnson administration, nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) thinking appears to be in decline. The United States has rejected the notion that threatening population centers with nuclear attacks is a legitimate way to assure deterrence. Most recently, it withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, an agreement based on MAD. American opposition to MAD also is reflected in the Bush administration's desire to develop smaller, more accurate nuclear weapons that would reduce the number of innocent civilians killed in a nuclear strike. Still, MAD is influential in a number of ways. First, other countries, like China, have not abandoned the idea that holding their adversaries' cities at risk is necessary to assure their own strategic security. Nor have U.S. and allied security officials and experts fully abandoned the idea. At a minimum, acquiring nuclear weapons is still viewed as being sensible to face off a hostile neighbor that might strike one's own cities. Thus, our diplomats have been warning China that Japan would be under tremendous pressure to go nuclear if North Korea persisted in acquiring a few crude weapons of its own. Similarly, Israeli officials have long argued, without criticism, that they would not be second in acquiring nuclear weapons in the Middle East. Indeed, given that Israelis surrounded by enemies that would not hesitate to destroy its population if they could, Washington finds Israel's retention of a significant nuclear capability totally "understandable."
