Abstract
The current state of functioning of nuclear countries that have been increasing their nuclear potential in recent years has been analyzed. It has been found that some of these countries are doing so gradually (Great Britain, France, the USA, etc.), while others are not (China, North Korea, the Russian Federation, etc.). It has been revealed that the latter group of countries are characterized by a latent increase in the potential of nuclear weapons, which adds even greater complexity to responding to nuclear threats from these states. A trend towards increasing information about the emergence of potential nuclear conflicts in the Middle East has been established, in particular between Israel and Iran, which are simultaneously pursuing a policy of intimidation. Given the massive damage from the use of nuclear weapons, the importance of applying primarily preventive measures in this area is emphasized. Among these measures, it is recommended to single out organizational, legal, personnel, informational and other resource measures.
Keywords: public administration, authorities, civil protection, civil security, emergencies, man-made emergencies, military emergencies, nuclear threats, nuclear weapons, EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
