Nuke Deal

I am currently going through '123 Agreement' published recently.Lot of interesting stuff. New learning.

I recently happened to watch a documentary (courtesy : History Channel) on "America's Nuclear facilities when,how it all started", a must watch,if you get a chance please don't miss a chance.

It all started in 1940s during WorldWar2 and continued during ColdWar . America has build around 10 -15 Nuclear facility in close proximity. All these facilities having B-REACTORs in it, which they could produce tons of enriched plutonium. By end of 1953, they had managed to have ballistic missile with nuclear warhead.

Towards an end of documentary, they had shown a "Mammoth missile" which is decommissioned by end of 1980 which could carry tons of Nuclear warhead in it, which if detonated would have cleared 900miles radius on earth to nothing more than a desert.

The Gigantic missile had been put on readiness in an underground facility, with highly safeguarded control room, can be launched less than a minutes time, to be exact 58 seconds.

I must say gigantic missile is massive and awesome scene. Ironically, I felt the feeling of excitement rather it should have been feeling of horror.

Btw, once i finish reading (past one week i am doing the same, making little progress)the agreement, we shall talk about "Nuke deal" between India and US.
