English-Finnish translations for nuclear weapon

• ydinase
  Olemme erityisen huolestuneita käytetystä uraanista, koska se on eräänlainen pienimuotoinen ydinase. We are particularly concerned about depleted uranium because depleted uranium is a small-scale nuclear weapon.
  Olen kollega Cohn-Benditin tavoin ydinaseita vastaan, mutta en ymmärrä, miksi Israelilla saa olla ydinase mutta Iranilla ei. Like Mr Cohn-Bendit, I am against nuclear weapons, but I cannot understand why Israel is allowed to possess an atom bomb whereas Iran is not.
  Olen kuitenkin samanaikaisesti levoton, koska meidän on tiedostettava, että Israelilla on ydinase, vaikka maa kieltää sen. At the same time, however, I am concerned, because we need to be aware of the fact that Israel has nuclear weapons, even though the country denies this.
