Nuclear for Peace

Nuclear peace is a theory of International Relations (IR) which argues that under some circumstances nuclear weapons can induce stability and decrease the chances of crisis escalation. In particular, nuclear weapons are said to have induced stability during the Cold War, when both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. possessed mutual second-strike retaliation capability, eliminating the possibility of nuclear victory for either side. Proponents of the nuclear peace argue that controlled nuclear proliferation may be beneficial for inducing stability. Critics of the nuclear peace argue that nuclear proliferation not only increases the chance of inter-state nuclear conflict, but increases the chances of nuclear material falling into the hands of non-state groups who are free from the threat of nuclear retaliation.
The major debate on this issue has been between Kenneth Waltz, the founder of neorealist theory in international relations, and Scott Sagan, a leading proponent of organizational theories in international politics. Waltz generally argues that "more may be better," contending that new nuclear states will use their acquired nuclear capabilities to deter threats and preserve peace. Sagan argues that "more will be worse", since new nuclear states often lack adequate organizational controls over their new weapons, which makes for a high risk of either deliberate or accidental nuclear war, or nuclear theft by terrorists.

for the example : Chernobyl nuclear accident was parallel to the case of hot mud Banjar Panji-1 well in Porong Sidoarjo.Yakni sama2 either depart from the goal (at the Chernobyl stems from the emergency power generation experiments, the Banjar Panji-1 to look for oil and gas), but the standard procedure carried out without complying (all procedures at Chernobyl reactor operating safety standards are violated, the Banjar Panji-1 ngebornya ugal2an and ngeyel). Finally there was a disaster. If two operators Unit 4 reactor of Chernobyl nuclear power is not reckless to continue his experiments on 26 April 1986 after midnight, perhaps the tragedy would never happen. But the tragedy also opened the eyes of the world will issue defect generation reactor design and management of the "magic" in the former Soviet Union.

Before the tragedy of April 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power plant complex is not very well known in Ukraine, even among local firefighters (who eventually became his first victim). NPP is located at coordinates 51.3872 30.1114 LU BT, near its border with Belarus. There are four reactor units: Unit 1 reactor began operating in 1977, the reactor unit 2 in 1978, reactor Unit 3 in 1981 and Unit 4 reactor in 1983. The entire unit produces 4000 MWe power that supplied 10% of Ukraine's electricity needs.
