Testing nuclear devices

Description

Testing nuclear devices involves the controlled detonation or simulation of nuclear weapons to assess their performance, reliability, and safety. This strategy aims to validate weapon designs, ensure deterrence capabilities, and identify technical flaws, thereby addressing national security concerns. It also provides data for developing safer, more secure arsenals and informs disarmament verification processes. Testing may be conducted underground, underwater, in the atmosphere, or through computer simulations to minimize environmental and health risks.
