This is probably one of the most important issues in human history. It spans from using uranium in bombs to nuclear power plants to iradiating our food with low grade radioactive waste. This site does not cover all of the aspects too deply but some articles have been written on the bomb and the nuclear policy of the Bush Doctrine.
There is hope as I read a report in 1992 by some Los Alamos lab scientists in NEw MExico. They have worked out a way to neutralize radioactivity instead of waiting billions of years. All we need is the will of our government to use it.

George Kistiakowsky, a Harvard professor who had worked on the Atom bomb and later was the science advisor to President Eisenhower became a spokesman for the disarmament movement. His last public remarks were in 1982 - "I tell you as my parting words: forget the channels. There simply is not enough time left before the world explodes. Concentrate instead on organizing .... a mass movement for peace such as there has not been before."
Bush Backs US Out of '72 Nuclear Pact
George Bush declared this on Monday; "For the good of peace, we're moving forward with an active program ... In order to do so, we must move beyond the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, a treaty that was written in a different era, for a different enemy."
The ABM Treaty is an extremely important agreement. It has become the foundation of all treaties since. Pull out from this treaty and the rug is pulled out of every treaty in the last 30 years. This is the grandfather of all the agreements that are keeping the world safe and sane.
