The document discusses the history and development of nuclear physics and weapons over four generations. It begins with discoveries in the early 20th century that laid the foundations of nuclear physics. It then describes the basics of nuclear fission and fusion, how this led to the development of the first atomic bombs, and the progression to thermonuclear weapons and multiple-stage designs. It provides details on the nuclear arsenals of the nine current nuclear weapon states. Globally, nuclear stockpiles are declining but non-proliferation progress has slowed in recent decades. Opinions on nuclear power are mixed due to concerns over safety and waste versus its potential as a energy source.
A nuclear weapon derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions of fission or fusion that release vast quantities of energy from small amounts of matter. A modern thermonuclear weapon weighing over a thousand kilograms can produce an explosion comparable to over a billion kilograms of conventional explosives. They were developed during World War II under the Manhattan Project led by Robert Oppenheimer and resulted in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that killed over 150,000 people. Nuclear weapons pose dangers such as radiation exposure and their use could damage cities and countries, which is why some countries seek to limit their proliferation.
A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb). Both bomb types release large quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter.
Today, nine states have nuclear weapons and many more can easily acquire those, although only five states are officially recognized as possessing nuclear weapons by the 1968 nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Those are
• The United States (1945)
• Russia (1949)
• The United Kingdom (1952)
• France (1960) and
• China (1964)
Four states never joined the NPT but are known to possess nuclear weapons:
• Israel
• India (1974)
• Pakistan (1998) and
• North Korea (2006)
The document discusses nuclear weapons, including their history, types, effects, and countries that possess them. It begins with definitions of nuclear weapons and descriptions of the massive explosive energy they produce. It then covers the key events in the history of nuclear weapons development during World War 2 and the Cold War. The document also examines the various effects of nuclear explosions and weapons, such as blast, thermal radiation, and fallout.

The document summarizes the nuclear arms race between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War. It describes how the arms race began after the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan in WWII, prompting the Soviets to develop their own nuclear weapons. This kicked off a competition that lasted decades as the two superpowers strived to outdo each other in nuclear stockpiles and delivery systems. Both nations invested heavily in producing more advanced bombs like hydrogen bombs and long-range missiles like the US Atlas and Minuteman missiles, in a bid to assert military dominance and ensure the capability to retaliate against any nuclear attack.
The document discusses the history and workings of atomic bombs. It notes that atomic bombs work through nuclear fission, which was discovered and developed into weapons during World War II under the Manhattan Project led by American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. The first atomic bomb was tested at Alamogordo, New Mexico in 1945. Two atomic bombs were then used against Japan in 1945 - "Little Boy" dropped on Hiroshima and "Fat Man" dropped on Nagasaki, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The document outlines the effects of atomic bombs and some basic properties of the two bombs used against Japan.
The document discusses several key aspects of the nuclear arms race between the US and Soviet Union during the Cold War. It begins with the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The Soviets then developed their own atomic bomb in 1949, marking the start of the arms race. Both sides developed powerful new weapons like hydrogen bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear payloads globally. Tensions escalated during events like the US announcing a policy of massive retaliation and the Cuban Missile Crisis, bringing the two superpowers closest to nuclear war.
The United States developed the hydrogen bomb in 1952 in response to the Soviet Union developing the atomic bomb in 1949. The US detonated the first hydrogen bomb in the South Pacific in November 1952, destroying an entire island. While the US initially led in hydrogen bomb technology, the Soviets detonated their own hydrogen bomb just one year later. President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles pursued a policy of brinkmanship to contain communism, which included a willingness to use nuclear weapons and a military buildup of air forces and nuclear weapons. This policy led many Americans to fear nuclear attacks and build fallout shelters, initiating several decades of living under the threat of nuclear war.
The document summarizes the nuclear arms race between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 to the early 1960s. It describes key events like the US developing the atomic bomb and Soviet detonating their first atomic bomb in 1949. Both countries raced to develop more powerful hydrogen bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles to deliver nuclear warheads. This led to rising tensions until the limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963.
The document discusses the development of nuclear weapons and space programs during the Cold War. It describes the invention of the atomic bomb and later hydrogen bomb. Both the US and Soviet Union engaged in testing of nuclear weapons and developed missiles like ICBMs to deliver bombs. They also competed in early space exploration with the Soviet Union launching Sputnik as the first artificial satellite and the US following with programs like Mercury and Apollo that landed astronauts on the moon. This space race demonstrated technological superiority and national prestige between the two superpowers during the Cold War era.
The Space Race and nuclear arms race were heated competitions between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War. The Space Race began with the Soviet launch of Sputnik and involved satellites, manned spaceflight, and landing on the moon. The US and USSR engaged in a massive nuclear arms buildup, developing more powerful bombs like hydrogen bombs, and delivery systems like ICBMs that could span continents, in a quest to achieve military supremacy. Both sides developed large nuclear arsenals and second-strike capabilities, resulting in a balance of terror known as Mutually Assured Destruction that prevented direct military conflict but fueled a costly arms buildup throughout the Cold War.
The atomic bomb is a powerful nuclear weapon fueled by nuclear fission that splits atomic nuclei. The United States created the first atomic bombs during World War II under the Manhattan Project to combat Nazi Germany. The US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in August 1945, killing over 100,000 people instantly and exposing many more to long-term radiation effects. While nuclear weapons caused devastating harm, some argue they ended WWII and deter nuclear powers today, though others believe their use was unjustified.
The atomic bomb was created by the United States during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project. The first atomic bomb test took place in New Mexico in July 1945. On August 6th, the US dropped an atomic bomb called "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan, killing over 70,000 people instantly. Another bomb called "Fat Man" was dropped on Nagasaki 3 days later on August 9th. The atomic bombs caused immense destruction and loss of life in the targeted cities from their nuclear explosions and the aftereffects of radiation exposure.
The document discusses key events in the development of nuclear weapons and space technology between 1945-1984:
- The U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Japan in 1945 and was initially the sole possessor of nuclear weapons technology until the Rosenbergs were executed for espionage in providing secrets to the Soviet Union, allowing them to develop an atomic bomb in 1949.
- Both nations then focused on developing more advanced hydrogen bombs, with the U.S. succeeding in 1952 and the Soviet Union in 1953. Satellite and ICBM technology accelerated the space race during this period.
- Notable events include the first Soviet satellite and manned spacecraft launches in 1957-1961 which spurred the U.S. manned
The document discusses the development of nuclear weapons by the United States and Russia during the Cold War. It notes that the US was the first to develop nuclear weapons and used them against Japan, shocking the world. Russia then began developing its own nuclear weapons to compete with the US in the arms race. Both countries massively increased their nuclear stockpiles throughout the 1950s and developed more powerful weapons like the hydrogen bomb. This arms buildup continued into the 1960s and led to a theory of mutual assured destruction if either country initiated a nuclear attack.
The document discusses the history and development of hydrogen bombs. It describes how Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam solved the problem of maintaining high temperatures needed for nuclear fusion. Their Teller-Ulam design uses a fission primary stage to compress and heat a fusion secondary stage, causing a vastly more powerful explosion than atomic bombs. The largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's 1961 "Tsar Bomba" test, which had a yield of 50 megatons. Hydrogen bombs can produce catastrophic effects from blast, heat, and radioactive fallout.
1) In 1932, Einstein warned President Roosevelt about Nazi Germany's efforts to purify uranium, which could be used to create an atomic bomb. This led the US to begin the secret Manhattan Project to develop a bomb.
2) The Manhattan Project took 6 years and over $2 billion, led by Robert Oppenheimer. They successfully tested the first atomic bomb called "The Gadget" in New Mexico in 1945.
3) In early August 1945, the US dropped atomic bombs called "Little Boy" on Hiroshima on August 6th and "Fat Man" on Nagasaki on August 9th, causing widespread destruction and many casualties in both cities. Japan surrendered on August 15th, ending World
The document outlines key events in the history of nuclear power, including Ernest Rutherford splitting the atom in 1919, Enrico Fermi achieving nuclear fission in 1934 and building the first nuclear reactor in 1942. It then discusses the first nuclear reactors to generate electricity in 1951 and 1954 and major accidents like Three Mile Island in 1972 and Chernobyl in 1986, showing both technological progress and public concerns over nuclear technology.
The document discusses the history of nuclear weapons development, arms reduction treaties between countries to limit stockpiles, and processes for dismantling nuclear weapons. It notes that the first nuclear weapons were created in the 1940s by the Manhattan Project led by Robert Oppenheimer. Later treaties like START and New START aimed to further reduce warheads and call for dismantlement. The dismantlement process involves removing the physics package, high explosives, and breaking down the core for other uses. The main reason given for disarmament is to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of terrorist or unstable groups.
The atomic bomb is a powerful explosive nuclear weapon fueled by nuclear fission. The Manhattan Project led by US Army General Leslie Groves and physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer developed the first atomic bombs during World War II. The first was tested in July 1945 and two were dropped on Japan in August 1945, devastating Hiroshima and Nagasaki and killing over 100,000 people. The bombs were dropped to end the war and avoid the massive casualties expected from invading Japan. Some argue the bombs were also meant to intimidate the Soviet Union in the early stages of the Cold War.
Nuclear power was discovered over 100 years ago and has developed rapidly thanks to nuclear arms inventions, though not all developments have been positive. Now, nuclear power is being developed for mankind's benefit. Everything related to nuclear power has not resulted in only positive inventions. Nuclear power provides around 20% of the world's electricity through nuclear power stations. There are both advantages like clean energy production and disadvantages like nuclear disasters to nuclear power.
Nuclear power was discovered over 100 years ago and has developed rapidly due to its role in nuclear weapons during the Cold War. While nuclear inventions have not been entirely positive, nuclear power is now being developed for peaceful uses to benefit humanity. Over 440 nuclear reactors around the world produce more than 25% of electricity in some countries. Although some oppose nuclear power due to risks like Chernobyl, scientists are working on safer nuclear technologies like fusion.

Nuclear power provides both benefits and risks. It can generate electricity and power while also posing dangers if misused. The document discusses the history of nuclear power development in several countries. It led to conflicts between nations developing nuclear weapons during the Cold War and other incidents like the Iran-Iraq war. Both advantages like clean energy production and disadvantages like radioactive waste are examined.
Nuclear physics studies the building blocks and interactions of atomic nuclei. Nuclear energy is produced through two main reactions: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission occurs when the nuclei of atoms are split, as with uranium in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs, producing energy. Nuclear fusion occurs when small atom nuclei combine under high heat, as in the Sun and hydrogen bombs. While nuclear energy provides advantages as a source of power, it also poses disadvantages due to risks of radiation exposure and potential reactor disasters.
WEEK 7 Nuclear Weapons and ThreatsLessonWelcome to .docxcockekeshia
This document provides an overview of nuclear weapons and threats. It discusses terrorism statistics from 2010 and introduces the topic of nuclear weapons and materials hazards. It then discusses the technical aspects of nuclear weapons, including how much material is needed to create a weapon and the costs. It focuses on the nuclear program and ambitions of North Korea in depth. Key points include North Korea's nuclear testing, estimated weapons stockpile, and potential threats posed by nuclear proliferation to North Korea. The document provides context on nonproliferation efforts and challenges regarding North Korea.
The development of nuclear weapons began with the discovery of the neutron in 1932. While nuclear stockpiles were reduced after the Cold War, enough remain today to cause immense destruction, and three new nuclear states have emerged since then. Nuclear weapons produce explosions far more powerful than conventional weapons, measured in kilotons or megatons of TNT. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the US in 1945 killed over 120,000 people instantly. There are two main types of nuclear weapons: fission bombs and more powerful fusion bombs. Currently, nine countries possess almost 16,000 nuclear weapons between them.
The document provides information on the history and development of nuclear weapons. It discusses how the Manhattan Project created the first atomic bomb in 1939 and how two weeks later it was used in World War II against Japan. It then explains the two types of nuclear bombs - fusion and fission - and how later, more precise hydrogen bombs were developed. The document also addresses the huge financial and human costs of developing nuclear weapons as well as the massive destruction they can cause.
This document discusses the differences between nuclear fusion and fission. Nuclear fusion occurs when atoms join together to form a larger atom, releasing energy. Nuclear fission is the opposite - an atom's nucleus is torn apart into two smaller atoms, also releasing energy. A chain reaction can occur when neutrons released through fission interact with other atoms, causing further fission. The document also examines hydrogen bombs, which use fusion, and atomic bombs, which use fission. It discusses countries that legally possess nuclear weapons and those seeking them. The potential dangers of nuclear deterrence policies are also presented.
This document discusses different types of nuclear weapons and their mechanisms of action. It describes how fission weapons work by splitting atomic nuclei to cause a chain reaction and release energy. Fusion weapons join light atomic nuclei and also release energy. Some weapons combine fission and fusion in their design or are designed for specialized purposes. The document also notes that hundreds of atmospheric nuclear tests released radioactive fallout that posed health hazards.
The document discusses sources of environmental radiation including natural sources like radon and cosmic rays, which contribute most of average annual radiation exposure, as well as artificial sources from radioisotopes, accelerators, nuclear reactors, and atomic bomb explosions. It also examines nuclear weapons programs in countries like the US and Russia and their resulting radioactive waste legacies. Several nuclear radiation disasters are described like atomic bombings in Japan and the Chernobyl accident. Both benefits and risks of low-level radiation are discussed.
This document discusses nuclear power and its history. It explains that nuclear power involves nuclear fission to generate heat and electricity, providing about 6% of the world's energy. It describes how the purpose of a nuclear power plant is to produce electricity, not nuclear power itself. It then provides a timeline of discoveries and developments in nuclear physics that eventually led to the development of nuclear power, including Einstein's E=mc2 equation, the first splitting of the atom, and the development of nuclear fission and self-sustaining nuclear reactions.
Unit #4 Nuclear Proliferation Student VersionNick Allgyer
The document summarizes the key events of the Cold War nuclear arms race between the United States and Soviet Union. It began after WWII when the US created the first atomic bomb and used it against Japan. The Soviets tested their first bomb in 1949, starting a nuclear arms competition. Both countries developed more powerful hydrogen bombs and delivery systems like ICBMs throughout the 1950s and 60s. Arms control treaties in the late Cold War aimed to limit nuclear stockpiles and curb proliferation.
The events of the Cold War including the civilian "Duck and Cover", propaganda film and the many books and movies about the Cold War. Discussion of Nuclear Arms Race and Nuclear Treaties and current status of Nuclear Weapons Stockpiles. Lists of the Nuclear Tests and the damages an Atomic Bomb can cause.

11June 2024. An online pre-engagement session was organized on Tuesday June 11 to introduce the Science Policy Lab approach and the main components of the conceptual framework.
About 40 experts from around the globe gathered online for a pre-engagement session, paving the way for the first SASi-SPi Science Policy Lab event scheduled for June 18-19, 2024 in Malmö. The session presented the objectives for the upcoming Science Policy Lab (S-PoL), which featured a role-playing game designed to simulate stakeholder interactions and policy interventions for food systems transitions. Participants called for the sharing of meeting materials and continued collaboration, reflecting a strong commitment to advancing towards sustainable agrifood systems.
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

2. INTRODUCTION
Nuclear power was discovered over 100 years ago.
Everything related to nuclear power has not been a
positive invention.
Right now nuclear power is being developed towards
the benefit of mankind.
3. The late 20’s and early 30’s are known for discovering
radioactivity and the huge steps forward in the
techniques and instrumentation of nuclear physics.
Scientists had to create large electric fields to be able
to continue their research.
1930’s- Ernest Lawrence invented the cyclotron
(=circular magnetic accelerator).
It is very difficult to date the birth of nuclear physics.
The year 1932 is considered to be the birth year of
nuclear physics due to the discovery of the neutron,
positron, deuteron and the completion of the first particle
accelerator.
BASIC HISTORY OF NUCLEAR PHYSICS
4. NUCLEAR FUSION
Fusion is the fusing of light nuclei into a heavier
nucleus. It requires a lot of energy to bring the
protons close enough to overcome their electrostatic
repulsion.
The energy released by fusion is many times
greater than the energy released by nuclear fission.
5. NUCLEAR FISSION
Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into
lighter nuclei. Does not require a lot of energy.
The energy released by fission is many times
greater than the energy released by a chemical
reaction.
6. NUCLEAR WEAPON
A nuclear weapon (also called an atom bomb, nuke, atomic bomb,
nuclear warhead, A-bomb, or nuclear bomb) is an explosive device
that derives its destructive force from , either fission (fission bomb)
or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions
(thermonuclear bomb). Both bomb types release large quantities of
energy from relatively small amounts of matter.
The first test of a fission ("atomic") bomb released an amount of
energy approximately equal to 20,000 tons of TNT(84 TJ)
The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released energy
approximately equal to 10 million tons of TNT (42 PJ).
A thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds
(1,100 kg) can release energy equal to more than 1.2 million tons of
TNT (5.0 PJ).A nuclear device no larger than traditional bombs can
devastate an entire city by blast, fire, and radiation.
7. GENERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Nuclear weapons are developed into four generation.
The fourth chapter is devoted to fourth generation
nuclear weapons.
These new fission or fusion explosives could have
yields in the range of 1 to 100 ton equivalents of TNT,
i.e., in the gap which today separates
conventional weapons from nuclear weapons.
Of the four basic types of nuclear weapon, the first,
pure fission, uses the first of three nuclear reactions
above.
The second, fusion-boosted fission, uses the first two.
The third, two-stage thermonuclear, uses all three.
8.
9. FIRST GENERATION NUCLEAR WEAPON
First Gen-nukes are called “Pure fission
weapons” because they are all about fission PFW s
are the simplest and least technical design .
The first nuclear weapons were gravity bombs,
such as this "Fat Man" weapon dropped
on Nagasaki, Japan. They were large and could only
be delivered by heavy bomber aircraft
10. SECOND GENERATION NUCLEAR WEAPON
Second generation nuclear weapons are called
“BOOSTED FISSION WEAPONS”.
A boosted fission weapon usually refers to a type of
nuclear bomb that uses a small amount of fusion
fuel to increase the rate, and thus yield, of a fission
reaction.
12. Idea to create a more powerful fusion weapon appeared in 1950s.
This was the time of the Cold War so it is hard to tell who was
first in the H-bomb development.
American sources say that they have performed a first explosion
on the 1 of November of 1952.
Russian sources say that they made it on the 21 of September
1955 and that USA made it in 1956 at Bikini
Deuterium and/or tritium are the fuel of a fusion weapon. It
would have been risky to store either of these gases in a bomb. This
problem was solved when scientists figured out that lithium could
be turned into tritium by adding one neutron.
A fusion bomb works by having a fission bomb as a trigger.
When the fission bomb explodes, it gives out heat and neutrons,
which turn the lithium into tritium, and compresses the tritium
HYDROGEN BOMB
13. THIRD GENERATION NUCLEAR WEAPON
Third generation nuclear weapons are called
“Thermonuclear Weapons”.
First and second generation nuclear weapons release
energy as omnidirectional blasts. Third generation nuclear
weapons are experimental special effect warheads and
devices that can release energy in a directed manner,
some of which were tested during the Cold War but were
never deployed.
These include: Project Prometheus, also known as
"Nuclear Shotgun", which would have used a nuclear
explosion to accelerate kinetic penetrators against
ICBMs.
Project Excalibur, a nuclear-pumped X-ray laser
14. FOURTH GENERATION NUCLEAR
WEAPONS
Newer 4th-generation nuclear weapons designs
including pure fusion weapons and antimatter-
catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion-like devices, are
being studied by the five largest nuclear weapon
states.
Nanotechnology can theoretically produce
miniaturized laser-triggered pure fusion weapons that
will be easier to produce than conventional nuclear
weapons.
15.
16. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF
NUCLEAR POWERS
Today nuclear physics is developing in a more
peaceful direction
We are starting to become more and more
dependant on nuclear power.
Nuclear power produces more than 25% of the
total electricity made in over 15 countries
There is a total of about 440 nuclear reactors
around the world.
17. NUCLEAR WEAPONS POLICIES
After the end of Cold War, USA, G-7 and Russia
established the Cooperative Threat Reduction
Programs to:
- dismantle strategic nuclear weapons
- strengthen the security of nuclear weapons and
materials
- employ key scientists in weapons of mass destruction
(WMD) complexes.
Russia and USA did not become allies. Despite the
signed agreement of detargeting, each country has
suspicions over other’s missiles explaining the sizes of
their nuclear arsenals.
18. STATUS OF WORLD NUCLEAR FORCES
The number of nuclear weapons in the world has declined
significantly since the Cold War: down from a peak of approximately
70,300 in 1986 to an estimated 13,890 in early-2019.
Government officials often portray that accomplishment as a result
of current or recent arms control agreements, but the overwhelming
portion of the reduction happened in the 1990s.
Some also compare today’s numbers with that of the 1950s, but
that is like comparing apples and oranges; today’s forces are vastly
more capable.
The pace of reduction has slowed significantly compared with the
1990s.
Instead of planning for nuclear disarmament, the nuclear-armed
states appear to plan to retain large arsenals for the indefinite future,
are adding new nuclear weapons, and are increasing the role that such
weapons play in their national strategies
19.
20. Countries With Nuclear Weapons 2020
In the world today, there are nine major countries that
currently possess nuclear weapons. Here is the list of all nine
countries with nuclear weapons in descending order, starting with
the country that has the most nuclear weapons at hand and ending
with the country that has the least amount of nuclear weapons:
Russia, 6,850 nuclear warheads
The United States of America, 6,185 nuclear warheads
France, 300 nuclear warheads
China, 280 nuclear warheads
The United Kingdom, 215 nuclear warheads
Pakistan, 145 nuclear warheads
India, 135 nuclear warheads
Israel, 80 nuclear warheads
North Korea, 15 nuclear warheads
21.
22. Globally, the number of nuclear weapons is declining, but
the pace of reduction is slowing compared with the past 25 years.
All the nuclear weapon states continue to modernize their
remaining nuclear forces, adding new types, increasing the role
they serve, and appear committed to retaining nuclear weapons
for the indefinite future.
Five nations, namely the US, the Russian Federation, the
United Kingdom, France and China, are considered ’nuclear-
weapon states’ (NWS) under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT) while India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea also
stockpile nuclear warheads.
More than 90% of the world's nuclear weapons are in the US
and Russian inventories.
Army-technology.com ranks the countries with the biggest
stockpiles of nuclear weapons

Africa's nuclear weapon programmed. Their
purpose is disputed
24. Russian Federation
The Soviet Union of Russia (USSR) tested its first nuclear weapon
RDS-1 in August 1949, starting the race for nuclear weapons with the
US. The USSR detonated its largest nuclear weapon, Tsar Bomba,
with a yield of 50 megatons (equivalent to the power of 3,800
Hiroshima bombs) in 1961.
Nuclear arms testing reached its peak in 1962 with 79 tests held
during the year.The Soviet Union retained an inventory of 45,000
nuclear warheads in 1986 but the stockpile was reduced by 50% in the
late 1990s.
The Russian Federation currently possesses 6,500 nuclear
warheads, including strategic nuclear weapons that can be launched
by long-range delivery systems, as well as non-strategic nuclear
weapons with lower yields and shorter ranges. The country’s current
stockpile of deployed warheads stands at 1,600 and is to be limited to
fewer than 1,550 under the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty
(START), enforced in February 2011.
25. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The United States was the first nation to develop a nuclear
weapon and is the only state to deploy nuclear weapons against
another country.
The US began nuclear weapon development during World War
II and successfully tested its first nuclear weapon in July 1945.
The country’s nuclear weapon inventory reached a peak of
31,225 in 1967. The nation currently has a stockpile of 6,185
nuclear warheads, including more than 1,750 deployed weapons
and 4,435 non-deployed warheads.
The US is required to reduce its operational strategic warheads
deployed on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs),
submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and heavy
bombers to 1,550 by 2021 under the New START.
26. FRANCE
France became a nuclear weapons state when it successfully
launched its first nuclear weapon during an atmospheric nuclear
test named Gerboise Bleue in February 1960.
The nation concluded its nuclear testing with the last and
210th test in January 1996 in French Polynesia.
The French military held a peak inventory of 540 nuclear
warheads during 1991-1992.
France is the only NWS to shut-down and dismantle all its
nuclear test sites. The nation now holds approximately 280
deployed nuclear warheads, making it the third-biggest stockpile
in the world.
The nuclear warheads of France are equipped onto SLBMs
aboard Triomphant-Class SSBNs and ASMP medium-range air-
to-ground missiles.
27. CHINA
The People’s Republic of China tested its first nuclear
weapon in October 1964 at the Lop Nur test site in the Gobi
desert of Xinjiang province.
A total of 45 tests, including 23 atmospheric and 22
underground, were conducted until the country signed the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in September 1996.
China maintained a peak stockpile of 435 warheads in the early
1990s and its inventory was dropped down to 200 by 2006. The
nation is now estimated to hold about 2,90 warheads, but this is
expected to increase as the country develops new ballistic
weapons.
Chinese nuclear warheads can be launched by air, land and sea-
based delivery systems.
28. UNITED KINGDOM
The United Kingdom became the third nuclear-powered
country when it tested its first nuclear weapon in October 1952.
The nation conducted a total of 45 tests but participated in the
US nuclear testing programme, amounting to more than 1,000
nuclear tests.
The UK’s inventory peaked at 350 nuclear warheads during
1976-1981 and was limited to 185 warheads by 1999.
The current stockpile includes 200 nuclear warheads,
including 120 operational and 80 non-deployed warheads.
The active nuclear warheads in the British arsenal are
delivered by Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles
aboard four Vanguard-Class ballistic missile submarines.
29. PAKISTAN
Pakistan’s nuclear power was unveiled to the world in a series
of nuclear tests conducted in May 1998, although the country
initiated its nuclear weapons programmed in the 1970s.
Pakistan is the seventh country in the world with the
capability to develop and produce nuclear arms.
Pakistan currently has 150 to 160 nuclear warheads, most of
which are believed to be in central storage.
The stockpile is expected to grow as the nation continues the
development of new delivery systems such as submarine-
launched ballistic missiles.
Pakistan currently maintains a variety of nuclear weapon
delivery systems, including medium-range ballistic missiles,
short-range ballistic missiles and aerial platforms. It is also
believed to be developing tactical nuclear weapons.
30. INDIA
India became the sixth nation to develop nuclear weapons
when it exploded a nuclear weapon during its first nuclear test in
May 1974.
The test, codenamed Smiling Buddha, was declared as a
peaceful nuclear explosion by the Government of India.
India also conducted a series of underground explosions at the
Pokhran test site in May 1998, announcing them as nuclear
weapon tests.
The nation’s stockpile is currently estimated to include
between 130 and 140 nuclear warheads.
India is committed to the policy of no-first-use of nuclear
weapons.
The country retains the capability to launch nuclear weapons
by land, air and sea-based delivery platforms.
31. ISRAEL
Israel is believed to have initiated its nuclear
programme in the 1950s, although it has not tested
nuclear weapons publicly.
The country exerts a policy of nuclear ambiguity
concealing its nuclear status.
Israel is however thought to have produced enough
plutonium for 100 to 200 warheads, but its current
stockpile is anticipated to be only 80 to 90 warheads.
Israel also has nuclear weapon delivery systems,
such as nuclear-capable intermediate-range ballistic
missiles (IRBMs), ICBMs, submarines and aircraft.
32. NORTH KOREA
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea)
exploded its first nuclear weapon in October 2006. The third and
most recent nuclear test was conducted in February 2013.
North Korea is believed to have plutonium and uranium
stockpiles to produce 12 to 27 nuclear weapons, according to a
mid-range estimate by the Institute for Science and International
Security.
The current stockpile is anticipated to be between 20 and 30
nuclear warheads.
The nuclear weapon delivery capabilities of North Korea are
unknown, however, the Defence Intelligence Agency assesses
that the nation is advancing to deliver nuclear warheads by
ballistic missiles.
33. Many oppose nuclear power. The example
how dangerous it is the disaster in Chernobyl.
