nonproliferation

Nonproliferation refers to efforts aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and promoting disarmament. It involves international agreements and treaties, such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which seeks to stop countries from developing nuclear weapons and encourages those with nuclear capabilities to reduce their arsenals. The goal is to maintain global security by minimizing the risk of nuclear conflict and ensuring that nuclear energy is used safely and responsibly. Nonproliferation is crucial for preventing the escalation of nuclear arms races and promoting peaceful uses of nuclear technology.
