Nuclear Forces, Policies, and Weapons

The Federation of American Scientists has created the nuclear Forces website, which contains interesting breeding on atomic topics. Probably, the aim of creating such website was in making people aware of thermonuclear policies and nuclear threats in the world. Accessing the website means accessing the info and links to nuclear guides of several countries (Iran, North Korea, Ukraine, etc.). It is crucial to pay watchfulness to the website sources and resources, when its substance is hit the booksd.The website provides the links to the two summary tables nuclear weapons capabilities and special weapons capabilities. Objectively, it is rather difficult and problematic for the non-specialist to analyze the table of nuclear weapons capabilities.These difficulties are connected with the complex structure of the table. Simultaneously, the summary of the special weapons capabilities provides comprehensive information about the countries, which possess and can utilize the weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical, biological, etc.). The table seems to lack any pertinent or peer reviewed references, this is why it can hardly be used as the source of passkey research. The website also provides the links to the Nuclear Notebook (Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists), Nuclear Facts and Figures, etc.The information found on this website can become a starting point of any research in the area of nuclear forces, policies, or weapons. Its data can become a valuable source of information, but professional researchers should lift it very critically.This does not mean that the information is misleading. One may recommend including peer-reviewed publications into the website content. This will add professionalism to the website in general. Information on the website is organized so that it should be easily accessed and read. However, some links are superannuated and require being either updated or deleted at all. In the world where nuclear technologies are updated da ily, the content of such websites also requires regular reviews. Otherwise, this information will lose its relevance and utility.ReferencesFederation of American Scientists. Nuclear forces guide. Retrieved 07 January 2008 fromhttp//www.fas.org/nuke/guide/
