A hype has been created over a period of time regarding the safety of Pakistan's nuclear weapons.
More especially, countries like Indian and US and their media have been quite vocal in the recent past voicing concerns about Pakistan's nuclear program. In some bizarre incidents, ironically, the nuclear safeguards of both these nations themselves have been in regular breach of standards desirable, not long ago.A sensitive list of US nuclear sites was mistakenly posted on internet recently. Then, in another case that shocked the whole world, a B-52 bomber that was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads flew for more than three hours across several US states.
As far as accidents regarding the Indian nukes are concerned, a few days back a fire left two people dead at India's main nuclear research laboratory, the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Mumbai. Times of India reported on November 30, 2009 about radiation contamination at the Kaiga nuclear plant in Karnataka. The locals residing in surrounding area suffered damages.
Yet another case, was of the sudden missing of a top nuclear scientist L. Mahalingam, having access to sensitive information, is also a fairly recent happening. He was later found dead. Then, there was news about two to three tons of heavy water having leaked out of an atomic reactor in western India on August 5, 1981. An examination of the safety record in India's nuclear facilities reveals poor practices and routine accidents, ranging from leaks of oil to complete loss of power in areactor causing all safety systems to be disabled. Such series ofblunders, places the United States and India in the list of world'smost dangerous nuclear powers.
Admiral Mike Mullen stated in press conference at Pentagon "We all recognize, obviously, the worst downside with respect to Pakistan is that those nuclear weapons come under the control of terrorists." Now the wind has changed, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton believes that "the nuclear arsenal that Pakistan has, I believe, is secure. I think the government and the military have taken adequate steps to protect that,". In same context, Indian Army Chief Gen VK Singh affirms, "I don't think, there is any reason to say things are not secure. Things are secure." Pakistan has no such history. Pakistan's nuclear command and control system remains one of the most sophisticated and secure in the world. However, those with vested interests continue projecting dismal picture about Pakistan
US Air Force lost 50 nukes
AND HERE IS FULL REPORT OF FOREST FIRE THREATENS AMERICA's BIGGEST NUCLEAR WEAPONS LAB IN LOS ALAMOS
A raging wildfire is threatening to engulf the Los Alamos National Laboratory of United States of Zionism. Los Alamos has likely tested more nuclear weapons than any other facility in the world.
As if that werent bad enough, AP notes:
The anti-nuclear watchdog group Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety, however, said the fire appeared to be about 3 1/2 miles from a dumpsite where as many as 30,000 55-gallon drums of plutonium-contaminated waste were stored in fabric tents above ground. The group said the drums were awaiting transport to a low-level radiation dump site in southern New Mexico. Lab spokesman Steve Sandoval declined to confirm that there were any such drums currently on the property.
Later, Los Alamos confirmed the allegation:
Lab officials at first declined to confirm that such drums were on the property, but in a statement early Tuesday, lab spokeswoman Lisa Rosendorf said such drums are stored in a section of the complex known as Area G. She said the drums contain cleanup from Cold War-era waste that the lab sends away in weekly shipments to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.She said the drums were on a paved area with few trees nearby and would be safe even if a fire reached the storage area. Officials have said it is miles from the flames.
The Los Alamos Study Group alleges that the waste is not all from the Cold War, because the facility is cranking out more nuclear weapons than ever. The lab has called in a special team to test plutonium and uranium levels in the air as a precaution. One area within the Los Alamos complex already suffered a temporary fire, which was doused. As Reuters reports:
A small offshoot of the blaze jumped State Highway 4 onto the lab grounds on Monday, burning about an acre (0.4 hectare) of property before it was extinguished about two hours later.
The Zionist Wall Street Journal notes that the surrounding canyons also contain radioactivity from past bomb tests:
Authorities also are worried about potential radiation releases from nearby canyons. Radioactive material from nuclear tests was deposited in the canyons decades ago, and if trees in those canyons go up in flames, they could release radiation into the air, said Rita Bates, an air-quality official with the New Mexico Environment Department. That could raise the potential for that smoke to affect peoples health, she added.
