Answer

Reduction of nuclear weapons by 85-90% is NOT one of the three pillars of The Nuclear Proliferation Treaty.

Further Explanation

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT is an international treaty open for signature on July 1, 1968, in effect since March 5, 1970. The objective of this treaty is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapon technology through the three pillars of nonproliferation, the right to peacefully use nuclear power and disarmament of existing nuclear bombs in possession with signatory countries.

The treaty classified countries into two categories, nuclear weapon states (NSW) as those that have built and tested a nuclear explosive device before 1 January 1967 such as United States, France, China, Russia, and the United Kingdom. The other countries classify as non-nuclear-weapon states (NNWS). The treaty reviews every five years but in 1995 it was extended indefinitely.
