13. Bombs and reactors: the nuclear divide.

Author

Iklé, Fred Charles

Subjects
NUCLEAR energy, NUCLEAR industry, NUCLEAR nonproliferation, ANTINUCLEAR movement, NUCLEAR weapons, NUCLEAR power plants, TRANSPLUTONIUM elements, NUCLEAR reactors, NUCLEAR facilities
Abstract

The article discusses the intertwinding of the peaceful and military use of nuclear technology. It could be clearly detected that the projects for peaceful applications of nuclear technology provided the essential expeditor, and in many cases the necessary cover, for gaining capabilities to make the nuclear bomb. The experts associated with the nuclear industry now admit that plutonium recycled for light-water reactors is of dubious economic attraction. The basic weakness of some of the past policies has been the assumption that the application of nuclear energy will not be of military use simply because it has some civilian uses also.

Abstract

The article discusses the development of "Nth country" problem and its impact on the society. It refers to the possibility of the increasing acquirement of nuclear weapons by several countries which can trouble international stability and rise the danger of global thermonuclear war. The author suggests that restriction of nuclear tests will have some inhibiting effect on "Nth country" capabilities by slowing down international competition. Moreover, he stresses the regulation of spreading the reactor technology, since this technology could later be misused to develop nuclear bombs.

21. GROWTH WITHOUT END, AMEN?

Author

Iklé, Fred Charles

Subjects
*ECONOMIC development, *SOCIOECONOMICS, *CONSERVATISM, *CONSERVATIVES, *ECONOMIC indicators, *SOCIAL change, *DEVELOPMENT economics, UNITED States economic policy
Abstract

The article criticizes the misconception shared by some U.S. conservatives that economic growth is the defining attribute of conservatism. The belief on this notion can be traced back from the fact that conservative economic policies have been successful in boosting national economies. However, those conservatives who advocate such views forgot that every economic growth has certain consequences. They fail to delve with the correlation between economic growth and social change, which could be either good or bad.
