Nuclear Weapon Stockpile

A nuclear weapon stockpile refers to the collection of nuclear warheads that a country possesses. These weapons are designed to release enormous amounts of energy through nuclear reactions, resulting in devastating explosions. Countries maintain stockpiles for deterrence, ensuring that potential adversaries are discouraged from attacking, fearing a retaliatory strike. The size and makeup of a stockpile can vary, with nations often engaging in treaties to limit or reduce their arsenals. Effective management and transparency of these stockpiles are crucial for global security and non-proliferation efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
