GEOG 270 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Arms Control, Nuclear Safety And Security, Plutonium
Document Summary
Wp #6: the nuclear express (stillman & reed) Throughout the two chapters, the clear theme that appears is that the authors are both huge advocates for safety measures. As for answering the prompt, the view they hold regarding arms control up to 1985 is not that positive. Specifically, from the 1950"s to the 1970"s, stillman and. Reed both seemed to dislike nuclear policy because there really wasn"t one and everyone was at a health risk with all the testing- safety was on everyone"s minds, but it was hardly built in (132). It isn"t until the npt (1968-1970) is mentioned towards the end of chapter 9, that stillman and reed give a more positive viewpoint on international nuclear arms control. In chapter 5, stillman and reed write about specific instances within the united states and. Soviet union, as well as other countries (the united kingdom and canada), where nuclear safety measures were not up to par.
