Nuclear weapons are a device designed to release energy in an explosive manner as a result of nuclear fission, nuclear fusion or a combination of the two processes. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. This bomb releases the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of Explosive Trinitrotoluene (TNT). Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous weapons to mankind.One hit can destroy an entire country. The United States was the first country to develop a nuclear weapon called the “Manhattan Project” in August of 1942.

By signing this treaty, you agree that if you already have nuclear weapons you are to destroy them. If you do not already have access to this weapon you are not to get new information to create one. Iran has already possessed the ability to produce highly enriched uranium, the key element of a nuclear weapon. Even with Iran having access to this key element they are not in violation of this treaty. Some countries feel that even though Iran says that they are not trying to develop nuclear weapons, they are still doing so and are being secretive about
