No first use (NFU) is a nuclear policy doctrine under which a nuclear-armed power commits never to be the one that initiates the use of nuclear weapons in a conflict, reserving them only for retaliation. China was the first power to declare such a policy, in 1964, immediately after its first nuclear test.
