Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'nuclear security'

Nuclear security encompasses the measures and policies designed to prevent theft, sabotage, unauthorized access, or attacks involving nuclear materials and facilities. This field became particularly crucial during the Cold War with proliferation concerns, and gained renewed attention following the collapse of the Soviet Union when securing existing stockpiles became a global priority. Nuclear security remains fundamental to international stability, as it addresses both state and non-state threats related to nuclear terrorism, accidents, and the safeguarding of weapons-grade materials.
