Summary/Abstract: This paper presents some theoretical and practical aspects regarding the necessity to increase the security of nuclear, military and civilian systems, although they continuously improve their security systems. The analysis of nuclear systems’ security requires thorough and scientific research of all factors, conditions and arguments, of the dangerousness posed by the uncertainty of these systems and the consequences for global peace and security. In this context, it is also necessary to approach the issue of starting a nuclear war as a result of accidents or nuclear disasters, although the current surveillance systems and nuclear parities between the two major nuclear players reduced the probability of triggering a nuclear war.
