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.
