What Does NW Stand For?

NW stands for Nuclear Weapon

NW stands for Nuclear Weapon, which refers to a class of explosive devices that derive their destructive force from nuclear reactions. These weapons release energy through either fission (the splitting of atomic nuclei) or fusion (the combining of atomic nuclei), resulting in immense explosive power and widespread radioactive contamination. Nuclear weapons are primarily developed and stockpiled by nation-states for deterrence and as a means of defense, significantly impacting global security dynamics.
