It should be noted, from the onset, that uranium could be enriched for two main reasons. To begin with, uranium could be enriched with the intent of building a nuclear weapon. According to the BBC (2020), “highly enriched uranium has a concentration of 20% or more and is used in research reactors… weapons-grade uranium is 90% enriched or more.” If Perelandra is enriching uranium so as to build a nuclear weapon, this move would be a threat to the safety and wellbeing of Narnia. In such a case, Narnia would be justified to intervene in an attempt to secure its interests.
It is, however, important to note that Perelandra could be enriching uranium for peaceful purposes, such as civil nuclear power generation. If this were the case, the nation would be seeking to advance the interests and wellbeing of its citizens. As a sovereign jurisdiction, this would be well within its rights. In such a case Narnia would not be justified to launch an attack.
In my opinion, at present, we must assume that Perelandra is enriching uranium for peaceful purposes. However, even so, the company should welcome inspectors to its facilities to not only observe the operations therein, but also take the relevant samples so as to ascertain that indeed, the country is enriching Uranium for peaceful purposes. The said inspectors could be from Narnia, the region, or forwarded by the international community. It is important to note that if Narnia were to launch an attack without first ascertaining whether Perelandra was indeed enriching uranium for military nuclear weapons (i.e. as opposed to civil nuclear power generation), it could find itself in a scenario similar to that of the U.S. - where the country invaded Iraq, only to find out later on that the country did not have weapons of mass destruction as had earlier been claimed.

Nuclear Weapons Knowing why states build nuclear weapons is important for us in order to determine the future of international security and to direct foreign policy efforts in such a way so as to limit the spread of such dangerous armaments. Nuclear weapons are explosives which derive their ability to destroy from chemical reactions, either fission or fusion or a combination of both reactions. These reactions release an enormous quantity of
Nuclear Weaponry Nuclear weapons have had a profound impact upon the world at large, as well as upon the United States of America, since they were researched and created within the middle of the 20th Century. The political ramifications of the possession of, monitoring of, and even the occasional use of such weapons have drastically influenced the way nation states conduct themselves towards one another. There was a prolonged time period
This debate is stated to have been lost by Bethe and he finally agreed to work as a consultant since he had failed to dissuade the building of a thermonuclear bomb and provided contributions to the effort focused toward design of the bomb. In contrast the physicist Teller had "been obsessed with the need to develop the hydrogen bomb ever since Enrico Fermi, suggested the possibility to him in
Nuclear Weapons An analysis of the Intelligence Community's efforts against the Soviet Nuclear arsenal during the Cold War The Cold War was one of the defining periods in U.S. history. Going to the moon was more about the culture and events that were occurring during the 1960s than anything else. When Kennedy announced in 1961 that the U.S. would put a man on the moon, it was more about the Cold War
At some point one must recognize that even if we identify a strategy to convince North Korea to cease its nuclear programs, history has shown us that their agreement means very little. Further, critics of attempts to neutralize North Korea point to the lack of sanctions that have been imposed for non-compliance with agreements (Kim, 2010). Major concerns for the international community when addressing this issue is their ultimate willingness
Nuclear Weapons Issue: Comparing Two Articles Nuclear Weapons are not to be trifled with. These monsters can, in fact, annihilate the Earth in minutes. Though many applaud the progress of technology in achieving such powerful weapons, most people lobby against nuclear weapon use, which can be detrimental on land, vegetation, animal life, sea life, water life, and, of course, humanity at large. From previous examinations, it is necessary to note that
