Baruch Plan

The Baruch Plan was a proposal from the United States in 1946 to regulate nuclear energy internationally. It aimed to prevent nuclear proliferation and ensure peaceful use by establishing a global agency to oversee nuclear activities. The plan suggested that all nations share information and agree not to develop nuclear weapons secretly. While it promoted cooperation, many countries, especially the Soviet Union, had concerns about sovereignty and control, leading to its rejection. The Baruch Plan was an early effort to manage nuclear technology peacefully, highlighting the tension between national security and international oversight.
