Nuclear Policy and Proliferation

Atomic expansion is the spread of atomic weapons, fissionable material, and weapons-pertinent atomic innovation and data to countries not perceived as "Atomic Weapon States" by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, regularly known as the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT. Multiplication has been contradicted by numerous countries with and without atomic weapons, as governments dread that more nations with atomic weapons will build the chance of atomic fighting (up to and including the alleged counter value focusing of regular folks with atomic weapons), de-balance out universal or local relations, or encroach upon the national power of states.
