Nuclear Program
A nuclear program refers to a country's efforts to develop or manage nuclear technology, which can be used for peaceful purposes, like generating electricity, or for military purposes, such as creating nuclear weapons. These programs involve complex research, engineering, and safety protocols related to nuclear reactors and materials. While nuclear energy can provide a significant power source with low greenhouse gas emissions, it also poses risks, including potential accidents and the challenge of radioactive waste disposal. The international community often monitors nuclear programs to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons and ensure safe usage.
