Sharing The Atom
Since the enactment of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the world has made great strides in applying nuclear technology to medicine, agriculture, industry, and energy generation. The negotiation of the treaty and the additional arrangements that followed its entry into force gave countries the confidence that these advances could be made without contributing to the spread of nuclear weapons. It also opened up multiple avenues for countries to obtain peaceful nuclear cooperation and created an economic environment that leveled the playing field for technology suppliers and recipients alike. This episode explores just how the NPT benefitted peaceful nuclear cooperation in the decades following its negotiation.
