Nuclear Weapons are devices capable of producing an explosion and massive damage and destruction by the sudden release of energy instantaneously released from self-sustaining nuclear fission and/or fusion. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) prohibits non-nuclear states from acquiring nuclear weapons and obliges nuclear weapon states to work towards a world free of nuclear weapons while guaranteeing the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) prohibits nuclear weapons for its states parties.
RN disinformation is the deliberate spread of false or misleading information aboutnuclear weapons, peaceful nuclear applications or radiological materials.
