Counterterrorism – Cooperating Internationally to Reduce Nuclear/Radiological Terrorism Risks

Through this project the United States National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) works bilaterally with key international partners and advanced civil nuclear countries around the world to address shared nuclear/radiological terrorism concerns and to jointly reduce associated risks. This bilateral and multilateral outreach includes leading mutually beneficial interagency nuclear counterterrorism dialogues that allow for regular discussion among senior interagency national officials on topics that are critical to reducing terrorist risks associated with civilian nuclear facilities and materials. Moreover, NNSA works with key partners to lead exchanges on technologies and approaches to secure and protect nuclear facilities and materials, and jointly conduct nuclear emergency preparedness and response exercises and training. These efforts include supporting multilateral nuclear counterterrorism initiatives such as the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT) and other international nuclear security initiatives.
