WASHINGTON — The U.S. Defense Department on Friday announced the government is moving forward with developing anew version of the B61 nuclear gravity bomb. The bomb, designated B61-13, would have a yield similar to the B61-7 and replace some of those older gravity bombs, the Pentagon sai...
Indeed, the United States has transferred more than 100 of its 50- and 170-kiloton nuclear gravity bombs known as B61s to bases in Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Turkey, where allied pilots rehearse nuclear weapons attacks using their allied fighter jets. Case in point, NATO...
Less than a decade later, Russia decided not only to conduct a full-fledged assault against Ukraine, acting under protection of its nuclear arsenal, but also chose to deploy its nuclear arsenal to Belarus, train Belarusian pilots to drop nuclear gravity bombs, and train its missile crews to ...
Schultz (2012)noted that from an engineering perspective, the best safety systems are those that require no user intervention to operate. Rather, they are engineered to trip automatically under specific conditions and by the use of only natural forces such as gravity, buoyancy, convection, and con...
Newer Generation III designs, on the other hand, incorporate improved safety systems and rely more on so-called passive safety designs (i.e., directing cooling water by gravity rather than moving it by pumps) in order to keep the plants safe in the event of a severe accident or station ...
in the event of a complete loss of electrical power (including emergency backup generators), control rods would drop into the reactor core, immediately stopping the nuclear chain reaction, and continuing decay heat would be transferred out of the reactor containment by a system of gravity-fed cool...
