Peer reviewedBlackwell, Patricia L.; Gessner, John C. – Youth and Society, 1983
A questionnaire was administered to 1,400 teenagers in order to determine young Americans' perceptions of nuclear issues, in particular nuclear war, and to examine young people's communication/information networks and their relation to nuclear attitudes. Data were analyzed by race and gender subgroup. (CMG)

Peer reviewedGirondi, Alfred J. – Journal of Environmental Education, 1983
This study was designed to develop a test instrument for measuring selected attitudes toward nuclear power, determine if attitudinal differences existed between selected groups of individuals, describe group differences in attitude, and classify group members as either anti- or pronuclear. Results, based on discriminant analysis, are reported and…

Peer reviewedSartori, Leo – Physics Today, 1983
Fundamental principles governing nuclear explosions and their effects are discussed, including three components of a nuclear explosion (thermal radiation, shock wave, nuclear radiation). Describes how effects of these components depend on the weapon's yield, its height of burst, and distance of detonation point. Includes effects of three…

Peer reviewedRavetz, J. R. – Physics Education, 1982
Discusses principle themes/issues of risk assessment, using examples from the "nuclear debate." Indicates that while an objective scientific core to decisions on risks exists, this is conditioned in its interpretation by inexactness, uncertainty, and value-commitments. Considers risk assessment elements, risk quantification in real…

Peer reviewedOuseph, P. J.; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1982
Simpler than x-ray diffractometer experiments, the experiment described illustrates certain concepts regarding the interaction of electromagnetic rays with matter such as the exponential decrease in the intensity with absorber thickness, variation of the coefficient of absorption with energy, and the effect of the K-absorption edge on the…

Peer reviewedWeinberg, Alvin M. – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1980
A senior nuclear physicist examines the status of nuclear power in the 1980s, projects the future beyond 2030, and argues that the world cannot do without nuclear fission. (BT)

Peer reviewedSimon, Bart – Social Studies of Science, 1999
Examines the problem of how to account for the observation of research on cold fusion after the apparent closure of the controversy in 1990. Despite the controversy, scientists continue to work with cold fusion. Examines whether the controversy is in fact closed, creating a hybrid category, "undead." (Author/CCM)

Peer reviewedDufour, Joanne – Social Education, 2004
The dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II inaugurated a new era in world history, the atomic age. After the war, the Soviet Union, eager to develop the same military capabilities as those demonstrated by the United States, soon rivaled the U.S. as an atomic and nuclear superpower. Faced by the possibility of…
