A nuclear program refers to a country's efforts to develop and manage nuclear technology, which can be used for various purposes, including energy production and scientific research. These programs often involve the construction of nuclear reactors, the enrichment of uranium, and the development of safety protocols to ensure the safe handling of radioactive materials. Some nations pursue nuclear programs for military purposes, leading to the development of nuclear weapons. This aspect of nuclear programs is often a subject of international concern and regulation, with organizations like the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) overseeing compliance with treaties aimed at preventing the proliferation of nuclear arms.
