The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to nuclear technology:
Nuclear technology – involves the reactions of atomic nuclei. Among the notable nuclear technologies are nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and nuclear weapons. It has found applications from smoke detectors to nuclear reactors, and from gun sights to nuclear weapons.

After decades of tense relations, failed talks, and sanctions between the US and Iran, the two countries have finally come to a framework agreement on the topic of Iran’s nuclear proliferation. So what’s in the nuclear deal? Well, according to a White House fact sheet, first and foremost, Iran has agreed to limit its uranium production materials to a third of what they have today for at least ten years. They have also agreed to reduce both the amount and quality of the enriched uranium they do produce as well as a ban on building any new enrichment facilities for the next 15 years. Currently, Iran’s “breakout timeline”, or how long before they’d be able to build a nuclear weapon, is 2 to 3 months. The new deal would extend that timeline to a year. They’ve also agreed to invasive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which will have access to all disclosed and undisclosed enrichment facilities, as well as their supply chain and any uranium sources. Additionally, Iran will have to dismantle a number of centrifuges, reactors, and facilities, and not start any new construction for at least 10-15 years. In return, the US promises to offer sanctions relief to Iran, as well as lifting any UN Security Council resolutions concerning Iran’s nuclear issue, but not including any about terrorism, human rights abuses, and ballistic missiles. And even with all these imposed changes, Iran will still be subject to Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty guidelines. Following its announcement, President Obama called the deal “a historic understanding with Iran”. However, despite the seemingly straightforward agreement, Obama warned Congress Republicans not to try and undermine the administration’s efforts, saying that the US would be blamed for any diplomatic failures. The history of Iran’s pursuit of nuclear technology is long and complicated. To see the whole story, take a look at our full timeline here.
