I think there are many times when it would be most efficient to use nuclear weapons. However, the public opinion in this country and throughout the world throw up their hands in horror when you mention nuclear weapons, just because of the propaganda that's been fed to them.

All nuclear weapon states should now recognize that this is so, and declare - in Treaty form - that they will never be the first to use nuclear weapons. This would open the way to the gradual, mutual reduction of nuclear arsenals, down to zero.

Tepco Cracks In Concrete At Their Nuclear Reactor
Tepco still can’t stop it
at this critical time point
it is obvious they can’t
they can’t even cover it
with layers of concrete!
they have been trying
they have been trying everything
trying everything because everything
is being eaten away by ceasium 137
a half-life of about 30.17 years
ceasium 137 is anthropogenic
an anthropogenic impact on environment
impacts on biophysical environments
anthropogenic designates an effect
an object resulting from human activity
ceasium 137 does not occur in nature
did not exist before nuclear weapons testing
welcome to another wonderful invention
another wonderful invention of humanity
superpowers love to stockpile nuclear weapons
meanwhile radiation is still spewing into sea
at beleaguered Fukushima nuclear complex
to block pipes use polymer shredded paper
pray works paper mashe paste water powder
try anything to fix leaks from nuclear reactor
