A nuclear close call is an incident that might have led to at least one unintended nuclear detonation or explosion, but did not. These incidents typically involve a perceived imminent threat to a nuclear-armed country which could lead to retaliatory strikes against the perceived aggressor. The damage caused by international nuclear exchange is not necessarily limited to the participating countries, as the hypothesized rapid climate change associated with even small-scale regional nuclear war could threaten food production worldwide—a scenario known as nuclear famine.

comment
  • Случаи ложного срабатывания систем предупреждения о ракетном нападении регулярно имели место в период холодной войны. Некоторые из них впоследствии, после обнародования ранее секретных данных, стали предметом газетных сенсаций, но абсолютное большинство (десятки тысяч) ранее не предававшихся огласке случаев по мере рассекречивания не стали объектом пристального интереса со стороны прессы. Некоторые современные историки склонны рассматривать данные ситуации как критические для существования человеческой цивилизации, поскольку мир, по их мнению, находился на пороге глобальной ядерной войны. Специалисты по вопросам ПРО не склонны переоценивать роль и значение указанных ситуаций на ход мировой истории.
  • Une attaque nucléaire évitée de justesse (ou in extremis) est un incident qui pourrait conduire — ou aurait pu conduire — à au moins une explosion ou attaque nucléaire involontaire. Ce type d'incidents implique généralement la perception d'une menace imminente provenant d'un pays possédant l'arme nucléaire, ce qui pourrait conduire à des frappes de représailles à l'encontre de l'agresseur supposé.
