Steve ................ H-Bombs: The Need to Not Have Them The existence of many thousands of thermonuclear weapons constitutes an ongoing threat to humanity as a whole. It is essential that the UN treaty outlawing them (signed by 122 of the 193 UN member nations) be endorsed by the 9 nations with these weapons, and that the means for disposing of them, including verification of such disposal, be perfected and extended. A good start was made by the US and Russia, which, between 1993 and 2013, successfully converted a large amount of H-bomb grade materials to nuclear reactor fuel. We need to continue this process, and, hard as it might be, to extend it to include the other 7 nations. The goal should be the total elimination of these terrible devices. My effort to explain the situation can be found at http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~unger/articles/h-bombs.html Steve Unger
