Long time ago only the superpowers could have it, even though the needs for this sort of energy were universal. Recently, these scientific secrets have been revealed to world, leading those countries which belong to third world dream of using it.

Unfortunately, one of the uses of this technology is for military purpose. Countries as North Korea, Iran, which having recognize fame of terrorist countries can have access to it and of the same manner, they are used it to blackmail international community. To have this kind of technology give to the country which have it, one position of superiority over the other countries. Different organizations were created for trying to regulate the use of this energy but the role of them has been no recognized for them. The international community has imposed economic sanctions on this countries to intent stop the creation of this kind of armament but it didn´t work.

In spite of these problems, nuclear technology is an important resource for energy, which supplies the increased needs of energy of the world. It´s necessary to create different ways that would put rules about the rational use of this great form of energy.
