A complex system of barriers — from international treaties and IAEA safeguards to export controls and the enormous technical and financial challenges of developing a nuclear arsenal — is designed to prevent nuclear weapons from spreading.

Yet an estimated 12,000 nuclear weapons still exist worldwide, while rising geopolitical tensions continue to test the global non-proliferation regime. Maintaining those barriers depends on international cooperation, verification, diplomacy and arms control.

Why do only a handful of countries have nuclear weapons? A series of barriers — from international treaties and IAEA safeguards to the enormous technical and financial challenges involved — are designed to stop nuclear weapons from spreading. But with around 12,000 nuclear weapons still estimated worldwide and growing geopolitical tensions putting the non-proliferation regime under pressure, maintaining those barriers depends on international cooperation and arms control.
