nuclear testing

Nuclear testing involves conducting controlled explosions of nuclear weapons to assess their power, design, and effects. These tests release immense energy through nuclear reactions, either underground, underwater, or in the atmosphere, providing data for scientific understanding and military development. Testing helps ensure weapon reliability, safety, and advancements, but also raises concerns about environmental impact and international security. Due to these issues, many countries now limit or ban testing through treaties, emphasizing the importance of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament efforts.
