Definición

  • Nuclear proliferation—the spread of nuclear weapons around the world—represents one of the central challenges to contemporary international peace and security. Definitions of Nuclear Proliferation The standard definition of nuclear proliferation was set by the 1968 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, or NPT. The NPT implicitly defines proliferation as the manufacture and explosion of a nuclear explosive device by any state (or, conceivably, by a nonstate actor) that had not done so beforehand.
