Concerns about nuclear conflict are re-ignited around the world.
You only have to open the newspaper (if anyone does that anymore) or check the news on the Internet to read of North Korea’s constant nuclear test provocation and President Trump’s fiery responses
So, how many nuclear weapons are there, and where are they.

As you can see between them the United States and Russia hold 92% of the world’s estimated 15,000 nuclear warheads.
If you think that’s a lot, back in 1986 during the Cold War there were 70,300 nuclear weapons globally – but the number of warheads has decreased as countries disarm more weapons.
What about North Korea?
While North Korea is a minor player in the nuclear weapon ecosystem, they’ve have been capturing the world’s attention.
