About
Nuclear Times was a groundbreaking magazine devoted to coverage of the nuclear disarmament movement. The magazine was published between 1982 and 1992.
Nuclear Times helped people connect and showcased the scale and power of the disarmament movement. It was the first reliable source of information on what was happening in the anti-nuclear movement - nationwide and worldwide. The magazine contained news, plans, and accomplishments of the more than 3,000 groups in the United States and many more abroad. It provided a calendar of upcoming events, legislation and other information ordinary citizens could act upon - in their own community, in Washington, in the centers of world power.
Throughout the 1980s, the magazine organized, galvanized and promoted the Nuclear Freeze movement — one of the most successful movements in history. We intend to do the same.

Faq
The Nuclear Times, a monthly magazine devoted to the nuclear disarmament movement, originally launched in October 1982. The magazine was the first of its kind, devoted exclusively to reporting on the grass-roots disarmament movement. It provided both in-depth and independent coverage of the personalities, events and issues comprising the growing anti-nuclear movement.
The world is closer to nuclear war than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists Doomsday clock reads 89 seconds to midnight. With the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) entering into force 2021, the success of Christopher Nolan’s Oscar winning film, Oppenheimer in 2023, followed by Nihon Hidankyo winning of the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize, there has been a renewed focus on the nuclear issue. However, there are still few places, online or in print, in which the general public can go to learn about the nuclear issue without needing a Ph.D. in physics or international relations. The appeal of the Nuclear Times, when it was in print, was that individuals could read quality research written for the masses. The magazine contained sections on education, history, culture, and provided a one stop shop for all things nuclear weapons related, including a calendar of events happening throughout the country. It was the vessel that help build the greatest citizen-led mobilization in history. It is time once again to build this movement.

Yes. The Nuclear Times will be in both digital and physical formats.
We are currently witnessing a cultural resurgence to traditional media. Studies have shown that many people are frustrated with streaming wars. People are turning away from digital and social media for a variety of reasons, including not wanting to support a particular owner of the site, the fear of data collection, anger over ads they are pushed and algorithms determining what they are exposed to. As a result, the purchasing of traditional media, physical books, and vinyl records are all up. Support for small businesses and the return of brick-and-mortar stores has increased. With all of these developments, the evidence leads to the belief that people would subscribe and/or purchase a physical magazine in a bookstore if given the opportunity.
