Using primarily Russian sources, this book explains the political
and economic aspects of nuclear power. The nuclear fuel cycle is
described, from the mining of natural uranium to the ultimate power
generation, and to reprocessing to produce plutonium which is
essential for both electricity generation and for weapons
production. Historical aspects of nuclear developments in Germany,
the USA, India, China and the Soviet Union are also considered and
explained. The book then proceeds to argue that Russia is more
powerful today in its nuclear weapons system and delivery than ever
before, and that it is precisely this which has provoked President
Trump to cancel the strategic nuclear weapons reduction treaty.
