Project on Nuclear Issues: Strategy /Posture and Policy

Introduction

The Cold War (US & USSR) was simply a test of weapons technologies. Sand Box was the testing ground and the Strike Eagle took the Meg or what ever was the opposite technology deliver. The point is there were no nuclear issues as there was a close to balance of delivery capability.

Moreover in real world terms there is no such a thing as a limited nuclear exchange as one life loss is one to many and once the nuclear box is opened most of the globe understands the consequences can end life as it is know here on earth.

Issues of thought—

Is the Nuclear option an acceptable fit in the imagination age of think it and create it? It would appear that the nuclear age has run its course as the key of balance of power not because it can not deliver but because too many other global players now have the code for destruction.

Thus one possible strategy is to invest in the technology to diminish the amount of destruction the power that we can deliver, reduce if possible the number of players with delivery capability or simply spend more resources in a power source that has an over crowded list of players.

Another possible strategy though one would be hard pressed to pull it off is to create a World Organizational Nuclear Freeze Enforcement Act (WONFEA) that would be enforced through the majority of nations by trade sanctions, isolations and other enforcement policies dictated as needed by the group.

The trade off should be that the nations that already have the capability or potential capability would also stand under the same policies and world enforcement would be implemented should any of the nations with the capability act out of the pact.

Moreover some type of perks must be given as incentives for those with out the capability as food subsidies, desirable non combative technologies and a place at strategic talks.

One of the keys to the (WONFEA) is the secret/ non secret ability to monitor/ control the actions, research, delivery and growth of nuclear events. At this juncture the project evolves to space. At present the space arena has a limited player list and the greatest potential for controlling the nuclear growth.

Thus measured shifts of investments should be implemented that benefit the advancement of the colonization of space, diminishing the nuclear conflict issue and creating technologies that enhance the betterment of man kind.

These elements should be linked as much as possible.

Although nuclear power has its problems which occur in cycles it appears at present the nuclear source will be around as a source of energy. This also presents an issue of trust in the nations that implement the power source as it is tempting to also ensure nuclear protection of ones soil.

A fix could also be implemented with in the (WONFEA) situational protection clauses that ensure the rights for countries to exist in peace with out any outside weapons introduced. Moreover this would also diminish the possibilities of nuclear weapons being implemented on a nations own people as the (WONFEA) would also monitor these activities.

At this juncture one can introduce the concept of a global defense as the funding saved from the nuclear race can now be implemented for research for asteroid or other debris as threats to the current life on earth.

Who is in charge of the effort? Simply put the nuclear issues themselves are in charge and it is important to keep that in mind to enhance the trust needed. It can be viewed as the nights of the round table, no one person calling the shots.

As a member of good standing of the (WONFEA) should there be an incident of a nuclear reactor, a melt down or something the organization would provide prompt assistance from across the globe. However the catch to all of this is the ability to monitor, control and diminish the nuclear war/conflict potential.

Options—

Wars and or conflicts are apart of the human life cycle, it becomes simply what means of tools /technology implemented and the expected outcome. Many feel that the nuclear element should not be an option and thus there must be a shift or change not only in global thought but global capabilities.

The first option is to simply change the way the term war is thought of. At present it is loss of life destruction of resources, or simply tests of technologies and courage.

After reading the history of the attack on Japan and viewing some of the footage an option becomes a focus on conserving resources. Thus a decision is made should a conflict arise as to how it will be fought and what resources will be spared.

An example, should a city or community be completely destroyed or should the community just be won using advanced technologies. Thus buildings, historic structures, infrastructure and the like can remain in place should it be of use in future generations.

However the flip side is to simply rebuild. At any rate the nuclear option becomes un acceptable. Since there will be wars and rumors of wars it may be the role of man to control these wars. An increasing option can be simply a show of force or a show of consequences. However for this option to work it must be linked to a global effort and more importantly a global agreement.

I did not research the shield or star wars initiative however I feel it at least worth a thought. Though expensive and futuristic space is the next real world foot prints. The powers that control space control other events that will include conflicts.

This is not all bad as it stands now there is an international space station which is also an option/opportunity for international cooperation on nuclear and other issues.

At this juncture the debate or issue of nuclear evolves from one of conflict or loss of life to should the nuclear effort be continued in the space effort? This may be the more serious issue as nations define weapons in another dimension, find new uses for nuclear activities and above all at some point if no agreement, define nuclear competition for new resources.

The shield option if scaled down, research delivers a decrease in cost, and implemented in a joint effort can be useful. Perhaps the nuclear activity can be of use, it appears to depend on the parameters and the definition of war/conflict and what the majority of the global community is willing to accept as consequences.

Particle research should show promise not only in the science community but also as a scaled down version of a problem solver on the battle arena. This effort depends on research effort, how implementation is delivered and desired.

Though not in the spot light neutron weaponry should not be ruled totally out. However funding and more research is a must. It is a given that the best nuclear conflict option is not to implement the option at all.

The next best option if the option must be an active option is to keep the balance as for the risk is simply too great. This option is losing favor as global states with little to lose or simply tired of being at the bottom of the food chain may not adhere to a code of ethics.

Weapons thoughts—

Spent nuclear fuel/ elements at least at present must become almost impossible to move around the globe. Price increases and an extensive global tracking system which is already in place must become close to fail safe. A strategy of limited nuclear exchange is not realistic and the global community must acknowledge this fact and have a global strategic plan in place at all times for nuclear conflict releases.

Sensors here on earth and space tracking devices must be implemented on a larger scale to address the pressing issue of a un timely release of an unexpected or expected nuclear exchange.

A global change of mind set on nuclear subject matter as per safe nuclear energy as a source of power and a reward system for those participation in the (WONFEA) as suggested above should be examined.

The must be a sense of urgency communicated across the globe and credibility of a charter such as the (WONFEA) must be with out question.

Issues of consequences should there be a nuclear release in the present real time world should already be in place for swift, precise action. Also it is very important that each nation across the globe be included and treated equally with respect as apart of nuclear conflict release fail safe open concepts.

Should there be a nation to take a lead role in any nuclear conflict release a protocol with an established charter must be voted on and agreed upon with out question due to the seriousness and the creditable of nuclear strategy.

Finally nuclear energy, nuclear activity, possible nuclear conflict, and nuclear business are real. Thus real world solutions are needed to address the issues. There can not be world policemen to police the nuclear activity it must be a joint effort.

Strategy & Posture:

The strategy for implementation should not be to totally eliminate the possibility of a nuclear conflict exchange quickly for at present it does not appear to be a real world possibility. As nuclear power replaces other sources and a shift toward environmental friendly power sources are sought the temptation of nuclear power for weapons will surly grow.

Thus the strategy becomes channeling and control of elements of nuclear and delivering incentives for non conflict use of the nuclear conflict capability.

Apart of the strategy must be to avoid a conflict exchange at all cost while encouraging and rewarding safe research/ development as per clean nuclear power. Also along with the increase use of nuclear power source the spent nuclear fuel /elements must not only be processed in a safe manor but spent product uses clean up must be apart of the strategic plan.

Thus the spent fuel already stored must be addresses at present tense and thus not left for future generations as it is not only not fair, it is un safe and unethical. Thus apart of any strategy is to clean up what we have already stored before advancing in the nuclear energy strategy.

Strategy for funding—

A strategy for nuclear waste clean up, nuclear power research and diminished nuclear conflict elements all take away funding from other sources. Thus a means or source for funding is a must in a global society that is already taxed with limited resources for a limited number of users.

A possible source is a spin off of the nuclear sub technology as a means to power not only subs but real world community’s part underwater and part above water. Now that the cold war has diminished some what there may be a possibility of a mutual agreement of implementing retired subs or those less classified for real time cargo vessels. This may take some de classifying however it can bear fruit.

A global nuclear tax may be implemented on progressive countries not for the use of current nuclear power but for the potential decrease of the global warming issues and future benefits of the tax investment.

Thus in real world terms we humans must deal with the fact that nuclear is not only a real element or issue but the nuclear element will grow. The trick of any strategy is the implementation of the nuclear growth in a fashion that will be not only safe for future implementation but at some point cost effective. The research /development strategy becomes increasingly important. The key here is not so much a buy in as per the public for there will be learning curves as per accidents but to precede in a joint global effort of building confidence and acceptance of nuclear energy over time.

Thus apart of any nuclear strategy is to diminish the threat of nuclear conflict. This becomes clear as there will be incidents during the learning curve however these incidents along with an on going concern of nuclear conflict will over ride the safe, efficient and cost effective elements that are needed for future society and global growth.

An article from the "Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies—

An article found on the Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies lists suggestions for nuclear strategies of four countries communicated as the US, UK, Russia and France. The strategies were linked to implications for India’s nuclear weapons strategy. (IPCS)

Also the research lists four main topics as:

A. Nuclear Deterrence

B. Ballistic Missile Defense

C. Nuclear Arsenal and Weapons Infrastructure

D. Arms Control (IPCS)

The article communicates the ‘Nuclear Posture Review of 2007’ set the tone for a nuclear strategy for the US and there were several recommendations as follows:

A. The US must retain a well defined/well rounded nuclear arsenal to provide deterrence against nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

B. Significant reductions in nuclear weapons can now be realized since Russia is no longer the Cold War threat. Also noted by the NPR is the downsizing of war ready deployed war heads to 3, 800 by 2007 and to 1, 700—2, 200 by 2012. Also note worthy is the suggestion as per strategic adaptability for threats from potential enemies. The recommendations suggest existing downgraded weapons (Termed Responsive Forces) be kept as back up to be re called should the need arise. (IPCS)

C. Another element is the recommendation from the Quadrennial Defense Review of 2006 which ‘tailored deterrence’ instead of a blanket approach. (Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies, ‘Developing an alternative framework for peace and security in the region’).

Policy:

Nuclear Weapons Policy & Strategy—

Another article communicating policies and strategies was found on The prescription for Secure and Healthy World. The article attracts attention by stating "while the risk of deliberate global nuclear war has diminished, the accidental launch remains a possibility.

More over the US policy at least in part may suggest an increased role for nuclear weapons in a misguided and dangerous attempt to project the role of a super". (NWP&S)

Some feel the US should take on the role as leading the elimination of nuclear weapons. The article reports PSR feels there is a need for a new policy direction as the following elements:

A. Prevent nuclear terrorism by dramatically increasing efforts to lockdown un-secured nuclear materials and nuclear weapons world wide.

B. Lead the world in reducing the nuclear threat by ending plans for new nuclear weapons and working for the global elimination of nuclear weapons. (NWP&S)

The article incorporates a change or shift in mind set as per implementing policy as the following:

18584.jpg Ending plans for new nuclear weapons

18587.jpg Locking down vulnerable nuclear materials and weapons as quickly as possible

18589.jpg Securing verifiable, irreversible reduction in nuclear arsenals as prelude to total elimination of nuclear weapons

18591.jpg Supporting the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty for a permanent end to nuclear weapons testing

18593.jpg Taking all nuclear weapons off hair—trigger alert (NWP&S)

The close of the section incorporates a statement from Dr. Hans Blix former Director of IAEA as noted from the article:

‘ . . . although existing international treaties have shown, a policy based on unilateralism and military actions has failed and has been costly in terms of lives and resources. Efforts to jointly create global security must now be intensified.

All states—especially those with nuclear weapons—have a responsibility and must contribute to the process. (NWP&S)

2. National Security Strategy, 2006, section V.

3. National Military Strategy of Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction, 13 February 2006, pg. 8

4. Dr. Hans Blix, WMD Commission Press Release, June 2006, available at www.wmdcommission.org.

Finishing the project:

A strategy of more funding for nuclear research for clean energy, controlling channeling of spent nuclear fuel/elements, an implementation of a shift toward clean nuclear power while maintaining and improving safety, and a joint global effort to increase nuclear power base over time while diminishing the potential of nuclear conflict are elements that should be considered.

The research brought out that a solid strategic plan should exhibit elements of nuclear deterrence, ballistic missile defense, nuclear arsenal & weapons Infrastructure and Arms Control . . .

Sections of the research suggest attention could be focused on the Nuclear Posture Review of 2007 as per guide posts adapted to real time threats and current nuclear issues.

A policy shift can lean toward the prevention of nuclear terrorism, and leading as per ending plans for future production of nuclear weapons.

Finally a change or shift in policy as per locking down vulnerable nuclear materials and weapons as quickly as possible, securing verifiable, irreversible reduction in nuclear arsenals as a prelude to total elimination of nuclear weapons, support for the test band treaty and scale down the alert status of active nuclear delivery systems.

The Race for Space: Concepts

The space station can be viewed as a step from planet to true foot-print of the next frontier though it indeed a very small print and joint collaboration is yet to stand the test of time. It would appear as global and domestic resources are diminished the global community will become more separate as per basic survival needs as tailored to a given global society.

The paradox can be thought as while the separation of countries or global zones based on needs and wants expand the advent of advancing technologies and presupposed conflict or war will draw these same countries and global zones closer.

At present advanced weapons, cyber warfare, counter warfare measures and processes (ECM and the like) suggest evolving into the space arena not only for commercial or advancement of life but also a quest for an edge as per space dominance pertaining to control of targeted tracts of earth and space.

The satellite advancement and tracking processes will in the future change the conflict/ war scenario as pin point accuracy and progressive weapons processes and systems can provide an edge so superior that a nation or pact that is not involved or linked in the new race will simply become subdominant to those that have entered and progressed in the new arena.

There are indeed real—world possibilities that must be addressed as should a nation partner with another nation where there is a possible conflict of interest in the future such as natural resources, land expansion, political clout, food and water supplies and simply armed conflict.

Thus the more a nation partners or commits to a joint effort, the possibilities of conflict of needs and wants. In real time there may be only a hand full of nations the will be able to foot the bill alone with out a joint effort in the space however this is indeed the best route as the projected resources suggest.

Private sector / military/government—

The space shuttle era has all but closed and as the private sector enters the frontier one might ponder how the interface of government and private will evolve in the new partner ship. The government and private sector joint projects is surely not a new concept as fighter aircraft, stores and other sensitive activities have a track record that can be vied as positive for the most part.

However as resources are diminished and global tension and pressures override loyalty the selling of sensitive data and or information will become an ongoing concern. Moreover as the axis of power shift as more and more nations decide to cover themselves land, weapons, food, military events and space will become bargaining chips with out bounds or limitations.

Will the government at some point have to use government authority in the event of a national emergency thus overriding the interest of private investors and can or should the governing body clear or influence the investments or investments of the private firm or enterprise. These issues can become perplexing and add
