New online Trident database launched

tridentreplacement.net is an accessible collection of documents about the replacement of the UK's current Trident nuclear weapons system.
 
Launched with more than 1,000 entries, the database provides a rich source of publicly available documents relating to almost all aspects of the government's decision to replace the UK's current nuclear weapons system.
 
The database was launched to coincide with the anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945.
 
The site is organised into sections covering a broad range of subject areas including international diplomacy, government, media, companies, Aldermaston and Burghfield.
 
There are separate sections on warheads, missiles and submarines, and on the planning process at AWE Aldermaston.
 
The website grew out of research into the current development programme at AWE Aldermaston, equipping Aldermaston to research, design and build a new generation of nuclear warheads.
 
The site is being launched as the debate about Trident replacement grows in parliament and the media, and among the general public.
 
Funded by the Nuclear Education Trust, tridentreplacement.net aims to bring this rich source of material to policy, research and advocacy organizations, individual researchers and academics, journalists, campaign groups and all those interested in the replacement of Trident.
 
Site development and maintainance, research and uploading is carried out by members of Aldermaston Women's Peace Camp.
