"Non-nuclear" refers to processes, technologies, or energy sources that do not involve nuclear reactions or the use of nuclear materials. This term is often used in the context of energy production, where non-nuclear sources include solar, wind, hydropower, and natural gas. These alternatives aim to provide energy without the risks associated with nuclear power, such as radiation and nuclear waste. In addition to energy, "non-nuclear" can describe military strategies or weapons that do not rely on nuclear capabilities. This includes conventional arms and tactics that focus on traditional warfare methods, emphasizing the importance of diplomacy and conflict resolution without resorting to nuclear options.
