"nuclear" how?
The nuclear arms race that began during World War II, then escalated throughout the cold war, has left more than 17,000 nuclear warheads scattered around the world, according to the Federation of American Scientists.
Nine countries have such weapons, and multiple treaties have sought to curb their proliferation and regulate their storage. But, while some countries have dismantled or disposed of their weapons, others are thought to be building them, or at least trying to acquire the ability to do so.
How much do you know about the science, history, and politics behind nuclear weapons?
