There are two terms in reference to this concept. States with nuclear arsenals are the United States, Russian Federation, United Kingdom, Republic of France, People's Republic of China, State of Israel, Republic of India, and Pakistan. North Korea has detonated warheads, but the existence of an arsenal is unknown. Nuclear capable states often regard those with the knowledge, technology and infrastructure to where they can rapidly design, fabricate, test and deploy a nuclear weapon. These notable states include Japan and Brazil. There are also NATO states in Europe with forward deployed American strategic warheads, making these states defacto nuclear.
