Today I continued finding sources and references for the Patron Discovery Page I am creating on nuclear weapons. I learned much about nuclear weapons states (NWS) recognized by the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and NWS not recognized by the NPT. Those recognized agree to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and use existing nuclear technology responsibly. Furthermore, NWS recognized by the NPT agree to disclose a certain amount of information about their nuclear arsenals including number and type of warheads and delivery technology. NWS not recognized by the NPT do not divulge this information... Only estimates of their arsenals exist. Just in case you were wondering.
