Hello we are Nuripa, the Nuclear Risk Prevention Association.

As our name says, we will talk about all the nuclear risks and how to prevent ourselves from
any injuries.
As we all know, nuclear threats have existed since the 1950s. With the rise of current
conflicts, we hear more and more often of a possible escalation leading to the deployment of
a nuclear weapon. In this context, we aim to protect the civilian population from these risks.
As you can see on this map, a few countries actually possess nuclear weapons, because the
main threat isn’t having the weapon, it is what range can they use them and how many they
have.
Between all those countries there are 16 000 nuclear weapons ready to be used. Their range
can reach 10 000 km, that is the distance between the north pole and the equator.
Now we could ask ourselves if states really consider using this weapon ? And the answer is
yes, if we take the doomsday clock which evaluates the possibility of a nuclear war. We are
at the moment at 1 min and 40 s from midnight, where midnight represents the apocalypse
as the end of humanity. But even if there wasn’t a war, they are still nuclear reactors that are
used to produce electricity. As of September 2022, there are 437 operable power reactors in
the world. Additionally, there are 57 reactors under construction and 102 reactors planned.
As Albert Einstein said, I know not with what weapons World WAR 3 will be fought, but World
War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones
