Opis

Fully detailed but accessible and accurate introduction to the technical aspects of nuclear energy and nuclear weapons for the specialist and non-specialist alike. Balanced and timely presentation of theoretical discussion and historical narrative, both as regards the nature of international security and the bargains implicit in the nuclear non-proliferation and parallel treaties. Unusually full discussion of the phenomenon of nuclear free zones, with particular emphasis on the zone covering Latin America. Comparable zones now cover all of the Southern Hemisphere. Frank appraisal of the functioning of the international atomic energy's safeguards system, which is too infrequently brought out into the open.
