It automatically becomes a member of "The Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)". Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Correct Answer 1 only

The correct answer is 1 only.

Key Points

  • The Nuclear Suppliers Group(NSG) is a multilateral export control regime and a group of nuclear supplier countries that seek to prevent nuclear proliferation by controlling the export of materials, equipment, and technology that can be used to manufacture nuclear weapons.
    • The getting of NSG membership means access to technology for a range of uses from medicine to building nuclear power plants for India from the NSG which is essentially a traders’ cartel.
    • India has its own indigenously developed technology but to get its hands on state of the art technology that countries within the NSG possess, it has to become part of the group. Hence, statement 1 is correct.

Additional Information

  • The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, commonly known as the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT, is an international treaty having three objectives of non-proliferation, disarmament and peaceful uses of nuclear energy. 
    • It was opened for signature in 1968, the treaty entered into force in 1970.
    • The treaty institutionalized the non-proliferation norm by de-legitimizing ‘proliferation’ (production and transfer) of nuclear weapons, fissile materials, and related technology by the non-nuclear-weapon states (NNWS) while the recognized five nuclear-weapon states (NWS) — namely the US, Russia, the UK, France, and China, can continue to possess nuclear weapons.
    • India always considered the NPT as discriminatory and had refused to sign it.
    • India has opposed the international treaties aimed at non-proliferation since they were selectively applicable to the non-nuclear powers and legitimized the monopoly of the five nuclear weapons powers. Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
