One of the best non-classified introductions and bibliographies you can find on the technology behind Permissive Action Links, the government's nuclear safety mechanism. A shining example of the internet's ability to provide expert knowledge on previously obscure subjects. Can't resist relating this quote: "By-passing a PAL should be, as one weapons designer graphically put it, about as complex as performing a tonsillectomy while entering the patient from the wrong end."

An interactive mapping program that allows you to map the effects of a nuclear detonation from any address. Useful as an educational tool and as a grim reminder of the horror of even a limited nuclear explosion, it is almost unavoidably a wee bit entertaining.

A politically motivated introduction to the proliferation debate. The authors review the current threat from potential proliferating states like North Korea and Iran and argues that the U.S. should increase adherence to export control regulations and sanctions.

Remotesensing.org is hosted by ImageLinks Inc. to promote the development and use of open source software in the areas of remote sensing, geographical information systems, and image processing.

The 'home page' for the U.S. Human Genome Project, the national coordinated 15-year effort to characterize all the human genetic material--the genome--by improving existing human genetic maps, constructing physical maps of entire chromosomes, and ultimately determining the complete sequence of the DNA subunits. A preliminary Gene Map representing the half-way point in the project is available for searching.

The Nuclear Control Institute "is an independent research and advocacy center specializing in problems of nuclear proliferation." It is a nonpartisan and nonprofit organization monitoring nuclear activities worldwide and pursuing "strategies to halt the spread and reverse the growth of nuclear arms." In particular, it focuses on the "urgency of eliminating A-bomb materials-plutonium and highly enriched uranium-from civilian nuclear power and research programs."

An extensive bibliography of resources on nuclear terrorism since 1992.

A lengthy and current bibliography on biological warfare with subsections on Anthrax, Plague, and Biodefense.

The Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Program at the CDC is devoted to coordinating a public health response to a bioterrorist attack. This website provides information about chemical and biological agents, press releases, training, contacts, and other important information relating to the public health aspects of bioterrorism preparedness and response.

One of the best sites out there on biological warfare. Contains an extensive library of publications, testimonies, book reviews, reading lists and fact sheets.

A web-based, general-interest magazine on NEO related issues. A recent issue was dedicated to resolving the issue of asteroid deflection.

A comprehensive introduction to NEO science.

"NEODyS provides information and services for all Near Earth Asteroids. Each NEA has its own dynamically generated home page providing information and services, and a search facility puts the information in easy reach."

Home page of the successful NEAT program at JPL.

Resources on NEOs available from the Planetary Society. They fund private missions to explore asteroids and comets and publish a regular newsletter, "NEO News"
