ABSTRACT

The centrality of the nuclear in Cold War politics has long been undisputed. But while confrontation and competition between the blocs figure prominently in accounts of the atomic age, transsystemic cooperation is only beginning to attract scholarly attention. Based on an analysis of Soviet collaboration with the United States and France in fast breeder reactor development and nuclear-powered water desalination, this article argues that in a changing international order, the red lines of Soviet nuclear sharing stopped to coincide with the bloc divide, and started to align ever more closely with the division line between nuclear haves and nuclear have-nots.

摘要

长期以来，核在冷战政治中的中心地位是无可争议的。但是，尽管集团之间的对抗和竞争在原子时代的描述中占有突出地位，但跨系统合作才刚刚开始引起学术界的关注。本文基于对苏联与美国和法国在快中子增殖堆开发和核动力海水淡化方面的合作的分析，认为在不断变化的国际秩序中，苏联核共享的红线停止与集团分歧重合，并开始与有核国家和无核国家之间的分界线更加紧密地对齐。
