This article contributes to a critical project of nuclear scholarship by examining the phenomenon of nuclear time. It does so in two ways. First, it develops an understanding of time as a metaphor that gives shape to our understandings, and performances, of nuclear policy, history and practice. These metaphors have a metaphysical cast, and work in two broad genres – discourses of continuity and recurrence, and of progress and evolution. Second, it develops an alternative, ‘materialist’ understanding of nuclear time that emerges from the weapons themselves and the aporetic nature of the strategies, and governance systems, that have been created to utilise and contain their potential for devastation. It suggests that the actuality of nuclear destruction, and its ability to annihilate human time as such, puts confident metaphors of nuclear time into profound question. This finally opens up a more compelling image of nuclear time, ‘responsibility-in-time’, which demands a futural responsibility to eliminate nuclear harms that can last the true duration of nuclear time, one that is many times longer thanHomo sapienshas walked the earth.
