Nuclear Reactors 551 - Turkey's Nuclear Project Needs Money
Turkey has been interested in building nuclear power plants since 1970. However, progress has been very slow and neighboring countries including Armenia, Bulgaria, Romania and Iran have all brought nuclear power to their grid before Turkey which is just breaking ground for its first nuclear power plant.

Nuclear Weapons 352 - Soviet and Russian Systems For Deploying ICBMs On Trains
Towards the end of the Soviet Union, the USSR put intercontinental ballistic missiles on trains. Their Soviet name was RT-23 but the U.S. referred to them as the SS-23 Scalpel. Each missile was seventy-seven feet long and carried ten five-hundred and fifty kiloton multiple-reentry warheads. The trains were referred to as Moldets. The first became operational in 1987.
