Atomic Weapons

Leaders of the group of atomic bomb survivors awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize emphasised on Saturday the present risk from nuclear weapons and renewed their call to abolish nuclear weapons.

Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, in a warning to countries that have nuclear weapons not to use them.

Nuclear weapons never bring peace, said the co-chair of Nihon Hidankyo, a group of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki that won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.

Nihon Hidankyo is a grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki which strives to "achieve a world free of nuclear weapons".

Nuclear-armed countries hiked spending on atomic weapons arsenals by a third in the past five years as they modernised their stockpiles amid growing geopolitical tensions, two reports showed on Monday.

The role of atomic weapons has become more prominent and nuclear states are modernising arsenals as geopolitical relations deteriorate, researchers said Monday, urging world leaders to "step back and reflect".

The new bomb is a variation of the B61 gravity bomb developed in the 1960s, during the Cold War, and was announced by the Department of Defense (DoD) last week.

To assess the impact of nuclear weapons on humans, the US undertook an exceptionally audacious experiment.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said his country has started taking delivery of Russian tactical nuclear weapons, some of which he said were three times more powerful than the atomic bombs the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 194

While the US has long demanded North Korea give up its nuclear weapons, the regime's biggest display of warheads let the world know that Kim Jong Un has no intention of abandoning his atomic arsenal.

The world's number of operational atomic warheads increased in 2022, driven largely by Russia and China, a new report out Wednesday said as nuclear tensions have risen since the war in Ukraine.

Iran has agreed to reconnect surveillance cameras at several nuclear sites and increase the pace of inspections, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Saturday.

The United States on Thursday denounced "loose talk" on nuclear weapons after Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow would only use an atomic weapon in response to an enemy strike.

Russia must withdraw its heavy weapons and military personnel from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant if the U.N. atomic watchdog's efforts to create a protection zone are to succeed.

The world is probably entering the "most dangerous" decade since the end of World War II, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Thursday, presenting the Ukraine conflict as part of a wider struggle against western domination.
