More or Less Continuously Present Topics

These topics do have some fluctuation in their occurrence over time, but this fluctuation shows no clear trend.

In topic 5, Nuclear Weapons, the words associated with the topic seem to be mostly related to the development and testing of nuclear bombs, especially nuclear submarines. This topic is most strongly present in the 1950s through the early 1970s, with a peak in 2011 after the Fukushima incident. This latter peak is possibly a confusion caused by the prevalence of ocean-related words in both the tsunami coverage and the discourse on nuclear submarines.

Topic 9, Nuclear Power, is a second cluster with words related to economics. Similar to topic 8, “power” and “plant” form the top words of a cluster. However, this time the peripheral words show a different focus: “company”, “corporation”, “year” and “percent” suggest that these articles are about nuclear energy as a business, and report on the earnings of companies that operate in this sector. Over time, we see a peak in the 1970s (the oil crisis) and in the 1980s.

The final relevant topic, topic 10, US Politics, concerns the policies of the United States on its own nuclear weapons and defence. The main peak for this topic is in the early 1980s, with the Rearming America programme.
