Non-Proliferation and Threat Reduction
The key question of the non-proliferation is; how difficult is it for terrorists to attack us with chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) weapons? The answer is; it depends on how difficult it is for terrorists to gain access to CBRNE materials. The main national and international non-proliferation challenges are to prevent CBRNE terrorism by securing CBRNE weapons and materials at the source. It is important to recognize that effectively increasing the national CBRNE non-proliferation efforts will essentially reduce national security spending, ultimately. A national focus on non-proliferation is imperative to develop a comprehensive and sophisticated policy and strategy that empowers our national and international non-proliferation efforts halting the spread of CBRNE materials.
NATSP is actively promoting non-proliferation of nuclear and radiological materials and technologies, both nationally and internationally.
