A nuclear power is a country that is armedwhich contains nuclear warheads. Such a state is able to independently conduct all the research necessary for production and collect a deadly warhead, beginning with the details and ending with its tests.

Members of the "nuclear club"

The first country that produced and testednuclear weapons, have become the United States of America. In the middle of summer of 1945, the Americans first experienced the explosion of a nuclear bomb. And in August of the same year, the first tragedy occurred - American pilots dropped nuclear warheads on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, completely erasing them from the face of the Earth. Since then, the world knows what a huge destructive force is possessed by nuclear weapons. As a response to the Americans in 1949, the Soviet Union conducted nuclear tests at the Semipalatinsk test site. Thus began the famous nuclear arms race. Soon the leaders were joined by France, Britain and China. In 1970, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons was signed, in which five countries possessing nuclear bomb technologies agreed not to transfer them uncontrollably to the rest of the world community. The nuclear counterparts created an unofficial "nuclear club". Russia inherited nuclear weapons from the USSR and joined the United States in the top two with the largest number of nuclear warheads.

The nuclear potential is constantly growing

The states of the modern world are strivingto produce nuclear weapons, hoping to make it an instrument of political pressure and containment of military aggression. India experienced nuclear weapons in 1974 and 1998, and Pakistan responded by creating a destructive bomb in synchronism, in the same 1974 and 1998. The KNDR conducted nuclear tests between 2005 and 2013, replenishing the number of countries possessing lethal warheads. Also, the state possessing nuclear weapons is considered Israel, although the government did not officially confirm this fact. Many states that have the opportunity to create a nuclear warhead have abandoned this idea. South Africa is the first country on the planet that independently produced and then destroyed nuclear weapons. Argentina, Libya and Brazil also refused to use nuclear warheads for various political reasons. According to scientists, Iran, Japan and Germany have the potential to develop and produce modern nuclear launch vehicles. The modern world faces a serious choice between peaceful coexistence and the endless build-up of nuclear weapons. This choice will determine how the planet will look in the 21st century.
