Nuclear Winter: U.S. Government Thinking During the 1980s

Washington, D.C., June 2, 2022 – The apocalyptic threats emanating from Moscow over the Ukraine war raise the terrible prospect of nuclear weapons use. The probabilities may be low, but if a major nuclear war occurred, the catastrophic impact of a so-called nuclear winter could be felt on a global scale.

Today the nongovernmental National Security Archive presents an assortment of government and contractor reports from the 1980s, when scientists first surfaced the nuclear winter theory.  These records describe preliminary efforts to explore the thesis along with related issues.  Although the topic quickly became politically charged, some high-level officials including President Ronald Reagan indicated that they accepted the concept was theoretically possible.

Among the primary documents posted today are an early overview of the Defense Nuclear Agency's research program, published for the first time, concluding that a large-scale nuclear exchange could cause "atmospheric trauma" with "serious potential for severe consequences" for the weather and climate.  Also in the compilation are progress reports on the Lawrence Livermore National Lab's research agenda, and a CIA report from late 1984 on nuclear winter research in the former Soviet Union.

Nuclear bombs generate a lot less radiation than nuclear reactors.

mainly because the bombs only operate for about 1 microsecond, then the materials and geometry that caused the radiation comes apart.  The metals boil and are turned into a gas.

The nuclear reactor generates radionuclides every minute that it operates, and they run almost forever.

That doesn't mean that reactors are bad - that is the price we pay for using heat from Binding Energy instead of coal or oil.

Conventional explosives dropped on a nuclear reactor (or a nuclear waste storage facility), are WAY WORSE radiation-wise, than a nuclear bomb.


Nuclear Winter is a psy-ops term, intended to make people fear what they don't understand.

If TIU members are interested, I can provide links to the resources that helped me learn about Nuclear Science.  My specialty is 3D modelling in general, and Computer Aided Nuclear technology.

Long-Classified U.S. Estimates of Nuclear War Casualties During the Cold War Regularly Underestimated Deaths and Destruction

Millions of fatalities projected in Cold War conflict scenarios, but military and civilian leaders showed "reluctance to accept or cause large numbers of deaths"

Key Internal analyses over the years concluded nuclear weapons would not compel the USSR to surrender and that a nuclear war could never produce a "winner"

The Jew-S government has worked very hard to make sure that the General Public does not understand Nuclear power, and Nuclear technology.

The chief risk from a nuclear bomb is not radiation.  It is the Enormous Bomb Blast.

e.g. 15,000 tons for the Hiroshima blast.

Rated in tons of TNT ... a ton of TNT = 4 Billion Joules.

A Joule is about the energy of a soccer ball that's been given a light kick, like when you are dribbling.

Amass 4 Billion Joules in one place and, it's a Bomb.

15,000 tons for Hiroshima = 15,000 x 2000 pounds, 30 million pounds of TNT, 60,000 Billion Joules, 60 TeraJoules.

I guarantee, if you dropped 30 Million Pounds of TNT over Hiroshima, it would be a Big Problem.


The Jew-S media also misleads the Public about Nuclear Disasters.

Three Mile Island was not the worst US nuclear disaster.  Santa Susana in Ventura County had -4- meltdowns, and released far more radiation (and radioactive materials) than Three Mile Island.

But they don't talk about Santa Susana, because -
A/  Managed by Jews
B/  military activities occurring there
C/  The Stanford-Jew influence in California.  They made SURE the story was killed.

If you buy land in Ventura County, make sure it's assayed by a radiation scientist.


It's MUCH more problematic if a Nuclear Reactor is blown up using Conventional weapons.  THEN you have a BIG BIG problem with radiation & radioactive materials.

The explosion at Chernobyl was estimated at only 200 tons of TNT.  Chernobyl had 400,000 pounds of Uranium, 2% enriched, i.e. 8000 pounds of U235.

Enough for 100 Hiroshima size bombs.

The problem at Chernobyl was not the tiny nuclear blast.  It was the distribution of all the radioactive materials across the landscape.


I expect that the US & Israel will take advantage of this, and will use conventional explosives to blow up the nuclear reactors of countries they don't like, then blame the disaster on the nuclear reactor.
