Nuclear Non-Proliferation

Nuclear non-proliferation refers to efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and promote peaceful uses of nuclear energy. This is primarily achieved through international agreements, like the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The goal is to stop countries from developing nuclear arms while encouraging disarmament among those that already have them. Non-proliferation is vital for global security, as the spread of nuclear weapons poses significant risks, including potential conflicts and terrorism. Ultimately, the aim is to create a safer world by limiting nuclear capabilities and promoting cooperation in peaceful nuclear technology.
