About Nukes of Hazard
Nukes of Hazard (NOH) is a project of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, a non-profit, non-partisan group dedicated to enhancing international peace and security in the 21st century.
This blog will cover and discuss nukes and other issues such as biological and chemical weapons, homeland security, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, military policy, and national security spending. The Center's niche is national security issues in Congress, so NOH will often gravitate toward Capitol Hill.
Corny jokes, snark, and off-topic posts are also to be expected.

About the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation
The Center was originally formed as the research branch of Council for a Livable World, an organization founded in 1962 by eminent nuclear physicist Leo Szilard and other scientists who pioneered the development of atomic weapons and became concerned about their use and spread. In 1980, the Center evolved into its own non-profit, independent organization. Since then, the Center has retained its focus on nuclear weapons but expanded its activities to include other present and emerging security threats.
Along with its sister organization, Council for a Livable World, the Center has been at the forefront of U.S. arms control and national security policy for almost 50 years. Some notable accomplishments the Center helped bring about include:
- Ratifying the Chemical Weapons Convention and Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces, Conventional Forces in Europe, and Strategic Arms Reduction (START) treaties
- Establishing a U.S. nuclear testing moratorium in 1992
- Limiting the deployment of the MX missile and B-2 bomber
- Blocking deployment of National Missile Defense by the Clinton administration
- Eliminating funding for the nuclear "Bunker Buster" and "Reliable Replacement Warhead"
