The Strengthening Nuclear Security Implementation Initiative: Evolution, Status & Next Steps
The Stanley Foundation recently published a report from the Nuclear Security Governance Experts Group (NSGEG) on The Strengthening Nuclear Security Implementation Initiative: Evolution, Status & Next Steps. The “Strengthening Nuclear Security Implementation” initiative broke new ground at the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit in the effort to harmonise and strengthen the global nuclear security regime. It has been subscribed to by 35 Nuclear Security Summit (NSS)-participating states who are committed to implementing the guidance found in the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Nuclear Security Series documents.
In this report, NSGEG members Bart Dal and Kenneth N. Luongo, along with Jonathan Herbach of Utrecht University, discuss the significance of the initiative, the importance of expanding its signatories, and the need to demonstrate its implementation through activities such as certification of facility employees with nuclear security responsibilities.
