Global Threat Reduction Programme (GTRP) – UK Global Nuclear Security Programme

This programme works both bilaterally with partner countries and through partners to deliver programmes that improve the security of nuclear and radiological materials and to reduce the risk of such materials being obtained by non-state actors. The programme focuses on four thematic areas:

  • The security of nuclear materials;
  • Security culture;
  • Counter nuclear smuggling and border security; and
  • Radiological source security and the promotion of alternative technologies.

The UK’s bilateral security culture programme runs several courses a year both in London and for countries and regions on the principle of material security (both physical protection and insider threat). These courses are for operators, regulators, relevant authorities, and academia.

On border security, the UK supports programmes managed by the United States National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to improve border security infrastructure and funds training activities conducted by the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL). The UK supported the design and build of a storage facility for radiological sources in Ukraine, in close cooperation with Ukrainian partners. Alongside the storage facility, a number of Global Partnership members, including France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and the US, coordinated and undertook related projects on radiological source security. The UK continues to support activity through the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Nuclear Security Fund. In addition to this programme activity the UK provides support to countries to assist with the implementation of international conventions and regulations.
