Hans Kristensen: U.S. Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Europe

Door Wilbert van der Zeijden

In 2005 schreef Hans Kristensen voor de National Resources Defence Council een diepgaande analyse van de Amerikaanse kernwapens Europa. Dit rapport gold jarenlang als referentiedocument voor onderzoekers en NGO’s.

Het rapport komt tot de – in 2005 – verrassende conclusie dat de VS nog zo’n 480 kernwapens in Europa hebben opgesteld. Kristensen gebruikte gedeclassificeerde overheidsdocumenten, militaire rapporten en interviews om voor het eerst een min of meer volledig helder beeld te schetsen van de hoeveelheid bommen in Europa, maar ook van hun locaties en het type wapen. 480 bommen is al een gigantische reductie in vergelijking met de jaren ‘ 70 en ’80. Maar, 480 bommen – zo merkt Kristensen terecht op – is altijd nog meer dan het hele Chinese nucleaire arsenaal.

About the Author

Selma van Oostwaard Selma supports all the disarmament work at PAX with a special emphasis on the No Nukes team. In 2014 she and other PAX disarmament campaigners launched a public campaign in the Netherlands to initiate the creation of national legislation to outlaw nuclear weapons: www.tekentegenkernwapens.nl. One of the result of this national campaign is that a vast majority of the House wants the Netherlands to start working internationally for a nuclear weapons ban.

The nuclear weapons arms race is here and we all have a choice; remain passive and wait for these weapons of mass destruction to be used OR fight for the stigmatization, prohibition and elimination of nuclear weapons.

I know what I’m doing, what about you? #nuclearban https://t.co/XTWWmxhfyb

“If you’re in favor of weapons, you’re automatically assumed to be strong and rational, whereas negotiations and diplomacy are weak. I think that’s very gender-coded and extremely dangerous.” @BeaFihn @nuclearban
