International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons

September 26 is an important date for every inhabitant of the Earth. International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons was founded in 2013 and registered in the UN General Assembly under number A/RES/68/32. The infamous Tsar Bomb (AN602) was developed by Academician I. Kurchatov. Terrible power (about 60 megatons) destroyed everything in its path during tests in October 1960. The nuclear mushroom shot up to a height of 67 km, the fireball was more than 4.5 km, and the sound wave spread over 800 km. The UN's priority mission since 1946 has been the worldwide elimination of weapons of mass destruction. The topic is raised at conventions every year, but despite the efforts made, not a single piece of equipment has ever been destroyed. Most of the world's population lives in countries that own weapons of mass destruction or are part of nuclear alliances. There are about 16 thousand potentially dangerous objects on the planet. According to the UN Secretary General, only complete elimination can guarantee the safety of the population. The mission of the holiday is to minimize the role of nuclear weapons in the foreign policy activities of states, remind participating countries of responsibility, and call for disarmament. On this day, thematic films are shown, campaign meetings and discussions are held. On September 26, everyone should remember the merciless danger that threatens the planet as long as atomic bombs exist. Russia takes a direct part in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and discusses at multilateral negotiating forums in the field of disarmament. The country regularly takes measures aimed at maintaining the safety of the population. 1. Non-strategic nuclear weapons have been reduced by 4 times. 2. Undeployed weapons are stored within the country under the strictest security conditions. 3. Nuclear installations have a zero flight mission, i.e. are not aimed at any objects. On July 7, 2017, a law was passed requiring member countries to abandon all nuclear development, testing and weapons production. The use of nuclear weapons in the 21st century is unacceptable. If it is used in one place in the world, a global catastrophe threatens the entire planet.
