Nuclear program

Iranian Nuclear Enrichment Program Since the first atomic bomb tests in the mid 1940’s, to the arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States in the 1960’s, to the disarmament phase in the 1990’s, nuclear energy has come a long way. The five nuclear powers have tried to keep their secrets on weapon manufacturing and element enrichment under wraps, but several countries have found out how; now they have large nuclear programs. Iran has recently joined the club, pursuing a program for uranium

I. Topic Description Iran’s Nuclear Program The Islamic Republic of Iran’s conquest for nuclear energy technology commenced during the 1950’s, inspired by U.S President Dwight Eisenhower’s program called “Atoms for Peace”. This program fabricated a plan in which the U.S Atomic Energy Commission would lend Iran as much as 13.2 pounds of low-enriched uranium in order to further develop their nuclear industries, including health care and medicine.i Two years following the agreement, Shah Mohammed

The Iranian nuclear program began in the 1950’s under the Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. The Shah applied for help to establish the program through the Atoms for Peace program. The program was started by the United States and helped provide a nuclear research reactor and power plants for Iran. At this time the United States and the rest of the world believed that Iran was interested in nuclear power as a means to provide a power source to help modernize Iran. Seventeen years later Iran is one of 51

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has an operating nuclear weapons program and demonstrates the capability of enriching uranium and producing weapons-grade plutonium. The DPRK possesses seven dominant missiles; each has different target ranges and ceaselessly threatens the international community. By conducting nuclear tests periodically, the DPRK’s nuclear program foists as a constant threat to establishing world peace. One prominent example is the DPRK challenging the new leader, President

Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy provides France with most of its energy needs, about 80%. This type of energy also emits almost no greenhouse gases, which is great for the Earth. France with this type of energy meets its demand and even sells some energy for a profit in neighboring countries. Many mistakes have been made in the production of energy using nuclear power plants, but if done right it may be our future. Nuclear energy can be produced safely as shown in France in their “French Nuclear

creating a nuclear weapons program, this is due to their status as a non-nuclear weapon state by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, as well as the reliance on the United States for nuclear defense. The following paper will detail Canadian nuclear energy and weapons policy, beginning with a description of their nuclear program. The next section will discuss the reasons for Canada’s avoidance of a nuclear weapons program and the current policy behind the nuclear program. Following

current IAEA inspections to verify compliance of safe nuclear activities under the NPT do not provide timely enough detection to safeguard against military conversion by countries such as Iran. SOLUTION: The United States uses the Iran Deal and its attempted strengthening as the mechanism to modernize IAEA safeguards for all countries in order to save the NPT. BACKGROUND: The issues that have been encountered with the Iran nuclear program are symptoms of a larger problem when it comes to enrichment

The North Korean government continues to financially fund the research and testing of nuclear and ballistic missiles. Little information is known about the North Korean nuclear program and has been made available to foreign nations due to the secrecy and isolation of international affairs. The threat of a nuclear strike from North Korea has become an increasingly serious matter for many nations including the U.S. and its Asian allies, Japan and South Korea. Currently, there are only nine nations

to an agreement about restricting Iran’s nuclear programs. The capability of Iran to pursue a nuclear weapon scared the international community, and this deal brought some peace to the political scene. For Iran, a nuclear weapon represented legitimacy and leverage over the major powers of the world, so it is interesting that Iran willingly blocked its avenue to achieve this bargaining chip. Nonetheless, there are ongoing security concerns about a nuclear Iran and its methods of power projection,

was shocked at the possibility of Nazi Germany building an atomic weapon, capable of destruction never before seen in warfare. Luckily for the Allied Powers, scientists Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi, worked for the United States atomic research program codenamed the Manhattan Project. Einstein and Fermi had escaped Nazi Germany and the Fascist government in Italy, respectively. Initially the worth of the project was not realized, and it proceeded slowly. Eventually, as the worth was proved, new
