        of nuclear weapon accidents is as old as their introduction</B>
The US Department of Defence 
        (DoD) first published a list of nuclear weapon accidents in 1968 which 
        detailed 13 serious nuclear weapon accidents between 1950-1968. An updated 
        list released in 1980 catalogued 32 accidents. At the same time, documents 
        released by the Navy under the Freedom of Information Act cited 381 nuclear 
        weapon incidents between 1965 and 1977.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.didyouknow.cd/nuclear.htm"><P>A number of 
        nuclear cases involve ships or submarines colliding at sea or, in some 
        cases, submarine nuclear power units becoming unstable and the subs having 
        to be abandoned. According to Greenpeace there have been more than 120 
        submarine accidents since 1956. The most recent incident, in August 2000, 
        was the loss of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk in the Barents Sea. 
        The Kursk is the seventh nuclear submarine lost, five of them Russian, 
        two American. There are <B>92 known cases of nuclear bombs lost at sea</B>.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/68EA16B9-82A4-421C-8D71-9C03E1854A13/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
