Question

for what purpose is a nuclear power plant typically used? why must the nuclear power plants of some countries that signed the nonproliferation treaty be monitored by international inspectors?

Answer 1

A nuclear power plant is used to generate energy through a process called nuclear fission. Some countries that signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) must be monitored by international inspectors to make sure they are using nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, like producing electricity, and not for developing nuclear weapons. This monitoring helps prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and ensures compliance with international agreements.
