Nuclear Policy

Nuclear policy refers to the strategies, regulations, and practices that govern the development, deployment, and management of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. It encompasses the political, military, and ethical considerations involved in a country’s approach to nuclear technology, including decisions on arms control, non-proliferation, disarmament, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Nuclear policy is shaped by various factors such as national security interests, international treaties (like the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons), technological advancements, and public safety concerns. It also involves diplomatic efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and promote responsible use of nuclear technology for energy and medical applications.
