How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article examines the nuclear nonproliferation regime as a factor influencing the spread of radiophobia in society. According to the author of the article, strengthening the non-proliferation regime of nuclear technologies in general, and nuclear weapons in particular, can significantly reduce the level of radiophobia in society. The purpose of this article is to consider a number of proposals that can strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation regime, increase trust between the leading nuclear powers, and reduce the fear of the use of WMD in society. The scientific significance of the work lies in the fact that the study does not question the practical benefits of nuclear technologies, and does not aim to completely ban their use. Realizing the benefits of nuclear technologies in energy, medicine and space research, the work aims to find safe ways to use Peaceful atom, and minimize the risks of using these technologies for destructive purposes. When writing the work, such scientific research methods as: general theoretical, analysis, synthesis, logical, comparative legal, historical, statistical, as well as the method of analysis and interpretation of legal acts were used. In this work, an analysis of the military doctrines of the main nuclear powers was carried out, and as a result, it was concluded that it was necessary to develop a number of universal measures to strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation regime. The value of this study lies in the fact that it contains a number of specific proposals that can contribute to strengthening the nuclear non-proliferation regime.
