L’apparition de l’arme nucléaire a provoqué une rupture épistémologique évidente dans la pensée militaire et a imposé aux puissances qui détenaient cette arme, l’acquisition d’une culture stratégique spécifique. A un moment où le discours stratégique subit, en URSS, une profonde mutation, il convenait de s’interroger sur les sources et le processus d’élaboration de la première doctrine stratégique soviétique de l’ère nucléaire. Cette stratégie s’est le plus souvent résumée à la doctrine élaborée par le maréchal Sokolovskij, au début des années soixante. Or, l’exposé d’une doctrine ne surgit pos du néant mais résulte d’un long cheminement, tenant compte de contraintes d’ordre de politique intérieure, internationale et de l’idéologie dominante, spécifiques de la société soviétique. En renversant un certain nombre d’idées reçues telles la représentativité du manuel de Sokolovskij ou la perception de la menace principale, le présent ouvrage étudie ce cheminement depuis l’explosion de la première bombe atomique jusqu’à l’entrée de l’URSS dans la logique du nucléaire.

Originally published in 1996. Although the history of commercial-power nuclear reactors is well known, the story of the government reactors that produce weapons-grade plutonium and tritium has been shrouded in secrecy. Supplying the Nuclear Arsenal looks at the origin and development of these production reactors, Rodney Carlisle and Joan Zenzen describe a fifty-year government effort no less complex, expensive, and technologically demanding than the Polaris or Apollo programs—yet one about which most Americans know virtually nothing. Carlisle and Zenzen describe the evolution of the early reactors, the atomic weapons establishment that surrounded them, and the sometimes bitter struggles between business and political constituencies for their share of "nuclear pork." They show how, since the 1980s, aging production reactors have increased the risk of radioactive contamination of the atmosphere and water table. And they describe how the Department of Energy mounted a massive effort to find the right design for a new generation of reactors, only to abandon that effort with the end of the Cold War. Today, all American production reactors remain closed.Due to short half-life, the nation's supply of tritium, crucial to modern weapons, is rapidly dwindling. As countries like Iraq and North Korea threaten to join the nuclear club, the authors contend, the United States needs to revitalize tritium production capacity in order to maintain a viable nuclear deterrent. Meanwhile, as slowly decaying artifacts of the Cold War, the closed production reactors at Hanford, Washington, and Savannah River, South Carolina, loom ominously over the landscape.
