Scrap Trident
Click on image to go to No Trident Replacement campaign page
Trident is Britain's nuclear weapon system. It consists of four nuclear-armed
submarines, one of which is on operational patrol at all times. Each Trident
submarine carries 48 nuclear warheads, each of which can be sent to a
different target. Each warhead has an explosive power of up to 100 kilotons,
the equivalent of 100,000 tons of conventional high explosive and 8 times
the power of the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, killing
an estimated 140,000 people.
CND believes that Trident is illegal, immoral and a waste of resources.
It does nothing to increase world security and undermines international
efforts to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
Trident and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
CND believes that to fulfil its international legal obligations, the Government
should comply with its unequivocal commitment under the Nuclear
Non Proliferation Treaty by immediately decommissioning Trident and
ruling out plans for future nuclear weapon systems.
