Nuclear Safeguards

Nuclear safeguards are measures to ensure that nuclear materials, like uranium and plutonium, are used only for peaceful purposes, such as energy production or medical applications. International agencies, such as the IAEA, monitor and verify nuclear facilities and materials to prevent diversion for weapons development. These safeguards involve inspections, accounting, and reporting to ensure transparency and compliance with treaties. The goal is to build trust among nations, prevent proliferation, and promote peaceful use of nuclear technology while protecting global security.
