Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG)

The Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is an international organization of countries that work together to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Formed in response to India's nuclear test in 1974, the NSG establishes guidelines for nuclear and nuclear-related exports to ensure that materials and technology are used only for peaceful purposes, like energy production. Member countries cooperate to ensure that sensitive technologies do not fall into the hands of nations or groups that might misuse them to develop nuclear weapons. The NSG plays a crucial role in global nuclear safety and non-proliferation efforts.
