Nuclear nonproliferation

Nuclear nonproliferation is a global effort to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and related technology. It aims to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy while discouraging countries from developing or acquiring nuclear arsenals. International treaties, like the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), encourage transparency, inspections, and cooperation to ensure nuclear materials are not diverted for weapon purposes. This helps maintain international security, reduce the risk of nuclear conflict, and support disarmament efforts.
