Nonproliferation, arms control, and international security
A reduction of the international nuclear threat is one of the greatest challenges of this era. Serious dangers associated with nuclear proliferation, theft of nuclear weapons or fissile material, illicit sales, clandestine activities, and terrorism remain. Our highest priority is to support the nation`s nuclear nonproliferation policy. We also continue to support US arms-control activities in cooperation with nuclear inheritor states of the former Soviet Union. Some of our analysis techniques, including sensors and computer simulations, are finding important civilian applications in diverse areas, such as search and rescue, fire fighting and response to natural disasters, law-enforcement activities, and environmental protection.
