Nuclear Security
Advancing international peace and security by securing nuclear materials, combatting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, strengthening border management systems, and training future generations.
CRDF Global strengthens nuclear security, nonproliferation, and border management by increasing international access to resources, education, and training. We specialize in capacity building programs that engage technical experts, policy makers, law enforcement and border security officials, educators, and nuclear technical personnel.
KEY CAPABILITIES
NUCLEAR SECURITY
We support training to develop robust security programs at nuclear facilities, prevent trafficking of materials and technology across borders, and foster international collaboration to address nuclear security risks.
EXPORT AND STRATEGIC TRADE CONTROLS
We strengthen systems to prevent the proliferation of WMD materials and dual-use technology by promoting compliance with multilateral export control regimes. We assist partner states by helping them meet their obligations, strengthening their legal/regulatory frameworks, and building their capacity to maintain control of their borders.
ADVANCING NUCLEAR SECURITY EDUCATION
We advance nuclear security education to establish a foundation for domestic and multilateral dialogue and as a source of innovative ideas for improving nuclear security culture. We develop curriculum, study tours, tailored fellowship programs, and provide travel grants to support the professional development of experts lacking financial resources to participate in dialogues on nuclear security and nonproliferation education.
