The Management of Nuclear Materials Includes

1
Nonproliferation Arms Control Division

• Mission
• To promote and advance the research, development
  and application of effective technologies to
  control proliferation risks and in support of
  arms control treaties and agreements.
• To educate and provide outreach to the public
  about international arms control and
  nonproliferation issues.

What is Nonproliferation?

• Nonproliferation is any effort
• (bilateral agreement, international treaty or
  organization)
• that prevents the spread of weapons of mass
  destruction
• (nuclear, chemical and biological)

Commercially available technologies can also play
an important role in addressing proliferation
concerns
Material protection, control, and accounting
(MPCA) is a fundamental pillar of
nonproliferation
3
What is Arms Control?
Arms control is any multilateral, bilateral, or
unilateral measure taken to reduce or control a
weapons arsenal.
On May 24th, 2002, U.S. President George W. Bush
and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the
Strategic Offensive Reduction Treaty (SORT).

Standing Committee on the Proliferation
Assessments and Methodologies

• The Standing Committee on Proliferation
  Assessments and Methodologies aims to
• Support the development and proper application of
  tools and methods to evaluate how to make the
  diversion, misuse, or theft of nuclear materials
  and technologies as difficult as possible, and
  the securing and safeguarding of nuclear
  materials, technologies, and programs as easy as
  possible
• Coordinate research and share results
• Actively engage students in research
• Support safeguards by design approaches
• Support the development of tools that aid
  evaluation of capabilities and needs in human and
  physical infrastructures.
