nuclear arms control
Atomic weapon limits
Nuclear arms control refers to diplomatic efforts and agreements between nations to limit, reduce, or regulate nuclear weapons.
These measures aim to prevent proliferation, reduce stockpiles, or restrict testing and deployment: The treaty was a landmark in nuclear arms control.
Arms control differs from disarmament—it manages weapons rather than eliminating them entirely.
