A nuclear explosion requires sufficient force to hold the reacting nuclear components together for a short but necessary time.

If you consider other nuclear components, then the electron is not the smallest of all.

The Americans are unlikely to leave their army in Europe without the nuclear component they consider necessary.

Under the agreement, the North would not be given the nuclear components of the first light-water reactor until inspections were carried out.

Therefore our strategic nuclear component is a very efficient element in protecting our national interests.

Until they are in place, no nuclear components of the reactors should be supplied.

Last things first: Iraq buys dual-use nuclear components through cutouts who could easily buy them from us.

That way, in an emergency, only the nuclear components would have to be flown out.

At this stage, no nuclear components of the new reactor are to be installed.

In both cases the alleged safety violation concerns operators dropping nuclear components.
