WHAT DOES NUCLEAR CAPABILITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

nuclear capability

List of states with nuclear weapons

There are eight sovereign states that have successfully detonated nuclear weapons. Five are considered to be "nuclear-weapon states" under the terms of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In order of acquisition of nuclear weapons these are: the United States, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, France, and China. Nations that are known or believed to possess nuclear weapons are sometimes referred to informally as the nuclear club. Since the NPT entered into force in 1970, three states that were not parties to the Treaty have conducted nuclear tests, namely India, Pakistan, and North Korea. North Korea had been a party to the NPT but withdrew in 2003. Israel is also widely believed to have nuclear weapons, though it maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity regarding this, and is not known definitively to have conducted a nuclear test. South Africa has the unique status of a nation that developed nuclear weapons but then disassembled its arsenal before joining the NPT.
