| Summary / Abstract (Note) | WE LIVE IN A TIME OF ASTONISHING SOCIAL CHANGE, AS THE COVID-19 pandemic has taught us. I would like to comment on three fundamental changes in the world of nuclear power and nuclear weapons. The first of these is the ratification of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) on January 22, 2021 (United Nations 2017). The second is evidence from the Greenpeace study in March that the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is not possible within a reasonable time frame or cost (Sato 2021). The third is the publication of the Carnegie Endowment analysis of the impact of cyber interventions on strategic nuclear war calculations (Levite et al. 2021). |
