               Cold War Deterrent Poses New World Safety Concerns

   by Kane Farabaugh

   When the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan on
   August 6, 1945, it marked the beginning of the age of nuclear weapons.
   Although the development and deployment of these weapons peaked during
   the Cold War, large arsenals still exist in the United States and
   Russia - and are on a a heightened state of alert. As VOA's Kane
   Farabaugh reports, recent scandals involving those responsible for
   handling nuclear weapons in the U.S. military have renewed debate about
   the risk, and the need, for such weapons.
