Q7.
What is/are the consequence/consequences of a country becoming the member of the 'Nuclear Suppliers Group'? 1. It will have access to the latest and most efficient nuclear technologies. 2. It automatically becomes a member of "The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)". Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer
A
Explanation
Membership of the NSG gives access to state of the art nuclear technology. Hence statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is not correct: Membership of NSG does not automatically make a country a member of NPT. Adherence to NPT or similar treaties is required for NSG membership, but joining NSG does not automatically confer NPT membership.
