A global folly
Article Abstract:
The problems related to the enfeebled state of the anti-proliferation regime and even greater threat than the existence of a North Korean weapon is addressed. The scientists and others with relevant knowledge of nuclear weapons should redouble their efforts to repair years of vandalism inflicted on international anti-proliferation efforts with a common goal to build treaty structure that would help contain the spread of nuclear weapons and lay the groundwork for their international control and subsequent elimination.

Rich in plutonium
Article Abstract:
A revised plan for the US nuclear-weapons, which focuses only on the handling of the plutonium used in nuclear weapons, could have wide implications not just for the US' own nuclear-weapons stockpile, but for the fate of the tattered non-proliferation regime. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the branch of the US Department of Energy that runs the nuclear-weapons programme, has announced that it would like to reduce costs by moving nearly all its plutonium into a single facility.

Plan bee
Article Abstract:
The US National Human Genome Research Institute has listed more than 50 genome projects either complete or under way, but the publication of genome, which used to be very exciting earlier, has currently become dull. The honeybee projects listed by the institute are discussed and a comparison between human and honeybees is provided.
