Nuclear-free zones in the United States

Nuclear-free zones in the United States refer to areas designated by local or state governments that prohibit the development, possession, or deployment of nuclear weapons and associated facilities. These zones are typically established through local ordinances or resolutions and can vary significantly in scope and intent. While the U.S. government maintains a policy of nuclear deterrence and has significant nuclear capabilities, the concept of nuclear-free zones is often driven by grassroots movements and community concerns about nuclear proliferation, safety, and environmental impacts.
