The improvement of nuclear weapons is determined, on the

one hand, by the level of scientific and technological progress achieved in the development of nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles, and, on the other hand, by the degree of adequacy of these achievements to the requirements of military-technical and military-political tasks.

a destructive effect due to nuclear, rather than mechanical or

chemical energy. In terms of the destructive power of a blast wave alone, one nuclear weapon unit can surpass thousands of conventional bombs and artillery shells. In addition, a nuclear explosion has a destructive thermal and radiation effect on all living things, sometimes over large areas.

destruction of which is based on the use of the

energy of the atomic nucleus. It is the most powerful and dangerous type of weapons of mass destruction, threatening all of humanity with unprecedented destruction and the destruction of millions of people. For the first time, nuclear weapons were used by the American army in Japan: on August 6, 1945, a nuclear bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, and three days later - on the city of Nagasaki. As a result of the explosions, these cities were almost completely destroyed.

In the second half of the 20th century, it was considered one of the most likely options for the development of the Cold War.

weapons act as a factor of deterrence and intimidation. Given the

A number of treaties on nuclear testing and nuclear disarmament have been signed.
The problem today is the safe operation of nuclear power plants. After all, the most common failure to comply with safety engineering can lead to the same consequences as a nuclear war.
