Trident Ploughshares (TP) is a non-violent, direct campaign aiming at disarming the UK Trident nuclear weapons system. It operates on the premise that this system is not only immoral but also illegal. As of 2011, The UK had four nuclear submarines, each carrying up to 16 missiles, each with three nuclear bombs; that is 48 warheads, each of which could be sent to a different target. Each warhead had an explosive power of up to 100 kilotons, the equivalent of 100,000 tons of conventional high explosive, eight times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb in 1945.
