Three American anti-nuclear-weapons activists sneaked into the high security “Y-12 Facility” to raise awareness about the danger posed by nuclear weapons.

Over the past twelve months, the world has seen a drop in the number of active nuclear weapons as countries retire aged or obsolete weapons. China, France, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States possess in total approximately 19,000 nuclear weapons.

Tell Harper, other party leaders, and your own MP that nuclear weapons need to be abolished!

Another former commander of U.S. nuclear forces, retired General James Cartwright, has joined the list of prominent former nuclear warriors calling for sharp cuts in the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

Kudos to the National Post for publishing a visually striking depiction of the day-to-day nuclear threat hanging over the Earth.

Each year, the nine nuclear-armed nations spend a combined total of more than US$100 billion on their nuclear forces – assembling new warheads, modernizing old ones, and building ballistic missiles, bombers and submarines to launch them. Much of this work is being carried out by private companies.
