Introduction

TFF believes it is of utmost importance to abolish nuclear weapons. While some may maintain that the risk that nuclear weapons will be used is small, others will argue that the consequences – no matter the risk – would be catastrophic beyond imagination and morally unacceptable and that no political goal can legitimate their use.
Therefore, its an imperative to educate ourselves about these things – the media in generally having abdicated their responsibility to provide public education about this and other controversial themes.
No matter what knowledge and opinion each of us has, there is no doubt that the risk of nuclear weapons use has increased in 2017-2018 due to a series of developments and political statements that must be judged to be grossly irresponsible and could, whether intended or not, lead to catastrophic misinterpretations, fear and panic reactions.
If you use the Search engine, look for “nuclear” in the Category search and/or click the drop down Theme menu with “N” on top, you’ll find lots of materials about these issues.
Below we reprint a literature guide from the highly respected and trustworthy journal Bulletin of the Atom Scientists – also known for it so-called Doomsday Clock.
We consider this – and the other materials we provide here – essential, trustworthy reading for concerned citizens, students at high-schools and universities and – for sure – also for media and politicians.
