UK accepts a first-use policy. That means that, in certain circumstances, it is prepared to use nuclear weapons first. Under the Conservative Government there was a policy of using nuclear weapons to protect Britain's ’vital interests’. That policy hs never been changed. In the build-up to the Iraq war in 2003, Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon said that the UK would use nuclear weapons if its troops were attacked with chemical or biological weapons. 2, record 11, English, - first%20use%20policy

Emerging Threats :Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Terrorism. The threat of terrorist or criminal use of nuclear, biological and chemical(NBC) weapons in Canada is considered low; however, the potential consequences of such an event could be so significant that national capabilities may be called upon to support local responders. While the main focus of our efforts must be on prevention, prudence dictates that local communities should have a capacity to respond to the consequences of an NBC terrorist incident. 1, record 13, English, - nuclear%2C%20biological%20and%20chemical%20terrorism

Nouvelles menaces : Terrorisme nucléaire, biologique et chimique. On considère qu'au Canada, le risque d'utilisation d'armes nucléaires, biologiques ou chimiques (NBC) par des terroristes ou des criminels est faible. Cependant, si cela se produisait, les conséquences d'un tel acte seraient si graves qu'il serait peut-être nécessaire de faire appel aux ressources nationales pour porter main-forte aux intervenants locaux. Bien que nos efforts doivent être axés sur la prévention, la prudence exige que les collectivités locales se dotent de la capacité nécessaire pour réagir aux conséquences d'un acte terroriste perpétré au moyen d'une arme nucléaire, biologique ou chimique. 1, record 13, French, - terrorisme%20nucl%C3%A9aire%2C%20biologique%20et%20chimique
