Prompt-launch status, however, increases the risk
that weapons could be launched by accident, without
authorization, or by mistake in response to a false warning of
an incoming attack.
Current tensions with Russia make it even more
important to ensure that a crisis—with its attendant increase
in opportunities for misunderstandings and time pressure on
decision makers—does not lead to a mistake that triggers an
unintended nuclear exchange.
As a first step to increasing security, the United States and
Russia should remove their silo-based missiles from hairtrigger alert. But even without Russian reciprocation, the
United States would enhance its own security—and that of the
world—if it took this action. U.S. land-based missiles can be
removed from hair-trigger alert by utilizing an existing safety
switch in the silos that is routinely used to prevent launches
during maintenance.

It's 80 years since Hiroshima and Nagasaki
and still every person in the world has the threat of being killed by nuclear weapons.
The fact that many are on a hair trigger is disgraceful.

All it would need is for human beings to declare that it's not acceptable
and verifiable rules to be put into place to stop hair trigger systems,
and the gradual dismantling and removal of all nuclear weapons.

You'd think 80 years would be long enough to do it?
It depresses me to see how pathetic our world leaders have always been.

Robert Floyd, head of the Vienna-based Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, expressed alarm.
"Any explosive nuclear weapon test by any state would be harmful and destabilising for global non-proliferation efforts and for international peace and security," he said.


U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has repeatedly said current nuclear risks are already alarmingly high and urged countries to avoid all actions that could lead to miscalculation or escalation with "catastrophic" consequences, said deputy U.N. spokesperson Farhan Haq.
"As he has said, we must never forget the disastrous legacy of over 2,000 nuclear weapons tests carried out over the last 80 years, and that nuclear testing can never be permitted under any circumstances," said Haq.

Radioactive contamination and a world held hostage by nuclear weapons.

This is the Environment MRB.
Should I go into great detail about all the radioactive pollution in the world?
It's a simple Google search that anyone could do and doesn't need me to prove it.
Radioactive waste has been dumped in our oceans,
nuclear sites are still so contaminated that no one can live there.
The Russians still have old nuke subs rusting away in ports.

The linear no-threshold (LNT) model is a model used in radiation protection that assumes a direct, proportional relationship between radiation dose and the risk of stochastic health effects like cancer, meaning there is no "safe" threshold for radiation exposure. This model is the basis for current radiation protection regulations and the "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA) principle, and is intended as a precautionary measure because the risks at very low doses are difficult to measure. However, the LNT model is controversial, with some experts suggesting that low doses may not be harmful or could even be beneficial (a concept known as hormesis), and there is an ongoing scientific debate about its accuracy at low doses. 


Key assumptions of the LNT model
Linear dose response: The risk of cancer is directly proportional to the dose. A higher dose equals a higher risk, in a straight-line relationship.


No threshold: There is no dose below which the risk of harm is zero. Every increment of radiation, no matter how small, increases the risk.


Precautionary principle: The model is a conservative approach to ensure safety, especially when the effects of low-dose exposure are not well understood.


Applications and implications
Radiation protection: The LNT model forms the foundation for international radiation protection systems and regulations.
Risk assessment: It is used to estimate the risk of cancer and other health effects from radiation exposure, for example, in determining cleanup levels for contaminated environments.


ALARA principle: The "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA) principle stems from the LNT model, promoting the reduction of radiation exposure to the lowest possible levels.


Controversy and debate
Scientific debate: The LNT model is subject to scientific debate, and its validity at low doses is questioned by some experts.
Hormesis: Some scientific evidence suggests that low-level radiation exposure might have a beneficial effect (hormesis), which contradicts the LNT model.


Statistical limitations: At very low doses, the risk is difficult to detect and measure due to the small number of affected individuals compared to the total population and the limitations of statistical data.
Human repair mechanisms: The model is criticized for not fully accounting for the body's natural DNA repair mechanisms and other protective biological processes that are effective at low doses.

In this video, we discuss the amazing true scale of America's Nuclear Weapons, particularly the LGM-30 Minuteman III.

The LGM-30 Minuteman III is a three-stage solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile with a complex guidance system and stands as American’s land-based nuclear deterrent. As of 2025, the United States has 400 Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles deployed, fully armed, ready to be launched from their silos at the President's command.

In this video, we take a detailed look at the missile's W-87 300 kiloton Nuclear Warhead, the Post Boost Vehicle that delivers the warhead, the ICBM's three solid fuel stages, the missile's flight sequence, and ultimately simulate the detonation of its warhead over the capital of China, the city of Beijing with a population of 22 million Chinese civilians.
