Next Generation Nuclear Security: Meeting the Global Challenge

The Stanley Center, alongside its partners in the Fissile Materials Working Group (FMWG), hosted the nongovernmental summit Next Generation Nuclear Security: Meeting the Global Challenge on April 12, 2010.

The event brought together 220 participants from US and foreign nongovernmental organizations, embassies, foundations, national labs, governments, the nuclear industry, US congressional staff, and intergovernmental organizations and was an effort to engage international experts, the media, and the broader public on global approaches to securing nuclear material. Participants hailed from 38 countries, the EU and Caribbean Community, and the UN and IAEA. This gathering laid the groundwork for a robust, integrated, global approach to securing vulnerable nuclear materials.
