From the publication:
Preface The Nuclear Weapons Databook is meant to be a current and accurate encyclopedia of information about nuclear weapons. It is intended to assist the many people who are today actively working on the problems of the nuclear arms race. In our society today, there is no greater threat to the human environment than a nuclear holocaust. Because of the obvious and terrifying consequences of the use of nuclear weapons, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has followed every aspect of nuclear development, including nuclear weap- ons development, for over a decade. NRDC has long believed that accurate information is critical in understanding the imperative for and implications of arms control. Information about nuclear weapons, policy, plans, and implications remains shrouded in secrecy. Informed public decisions on nuclear arms questions can only occur if better and more information on the subject is available. The purpose of this Databook is to help overcome this barrier. Volume I of the Nuclear Weapons Databook is based as much as possible on original documentation, and the source of information is indicated in the extensive footnotes accompanying the text and fact sheets. The Databook, however, is only as useful as the accuracy of the information presented. We therefore strongly encourage the reader to contribute to this effort-to advise us of errors and new information. We also wish to be advised of additional subject areas that should be included in future editions and recommended changes in the format of the data presented. Experts who are willing to serve as contributors or reviewers of the various sections of the Databook, particularly subject areas not now covered, are also desired. xvi Nuclear Weapons Databook, Volume I
