 Atomic Weapons Establishment

The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) is a British government agency responsible for the design, manufacture, and maintenance of nuclear warheads for the United Kingdom's nuclear arsenal. It operates under the auspices of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) and plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety, security, and effectiveness of the UK's nuclear deterrent. AWE's work encompasses various aspects of nuclear weapons, including research and development, testing, and engineering.

Their website, and in particular the recruitment section, are so creepy.

There's not mention of bombs. No photos of atomic explosions. The words "atomic" and "weapon" do not even show up in the front page!!! The acronym AWE is instead used everywhere as an euphemism.

In the recruitment section we can see a bunch of people smiling: web.archive.org/web/20211007213222/https://www.awe.co.uk/careers/working-at-awe/, suggesting:There's even children outreach!!!

Ciro Santilli is not against storing a few nukes to be ready against dictatorships. But don't be such a pussy! Just say what the fuck you are doing more clearly! You are making weapons to kill people and destroy things in order to maintain the Balance of power. If the public can't handle such facts, then shut down the fucking program.
