From the first use of nuclear weapons in the battlefield to the present day, eight decades have passed. Due to its destructive power, this type of weapon has never been used in warfare again. However, the fear that this weapon will be used again has never disappeared. On the contrary, all states possessing this type of armament have not abandoned it but have modernized it to such an extent that it seems that just one wrong move by a statesman could bring this world to the brink of extinction. This paper systematically reviews knowledge about nuclear weapons and classifies them according to various criteria. Throughout history, there have been various efforts to abolish this weapon, and with the development of different types of nuclear armaments, new agreements have emerged aiming to reduce specific types of projectiles. The paper demonstrates the impact of these agreements on the signatories and the reduction of certain types of weapons.
