Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program

The mission of the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program supports national security strategy by pursuing objectives to prevent the proliferation of WMD and related materials, technologies and expertise from former Soviet Union states. While the initial focus of the CTR program was on the most pressing nuclear proliferation threats, program funding also was directed toward improving the physical protection, safety and security of facilities that housed dangerous bio-agents under the cooperative Biological Threat Reduction program. The CTR program has accomplished much since its creation. The program has deactivated more than 7,500 nuclear warheads, neutralized chemical weapons, safeguarded fissile materials, converted weapons facilities for peaceful use, mitigated bio-threats, and redirected the work of former weapons scientists and engineers, among other efforts.
