caption_attribution_description: Image of worldwide nuclear weapons programs, as of September 2005. Based on info at en:List of countries with nuclear weapons, filled into Image:BlankMap-World.png originally by User:Fastfission (but now by others as well, see below). Rendered without labels for multi-lingual support. Feel free to update this (very easy using Photoshop or GIMP) as reliable information changes. Rojo: Five "nuclear weapons states" from the NPT. Anaranjado: Other known nuclear powers. Amarillo: States suspected of having possession of, or suspected of being in the process of developing, nuclear weapons and/or nuclear programs. Morado: States which at one point had nuclear weapons and/or nuclear weapons research programs. Verde: Other states capable of developing nuclear weapons. Historical states have been represented by their successor states (i.e. Yugoslavia by Serbia, as it apparently inherited the nuclear materials of the socialist state after it fragmented).
context_page_description: Nuclear proliferation is when a country starts making nuclear objects. On the right is a map showing who has nuclear reactors and weapons, and who could have them. When a country starts making nuclear weapons, they become a nuclear power.
