International Cooperation

Ensuring peaceful uses of nuclear energy stay peaceful

Agreements to ensure the peaceful uses of nuclear energy are critical to the entire Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) bargain.  They provide nonproliferation protections and establish relationships with scientists and engineers of other countries that are important to shaping nuclear energy development.  The Proliferation Prevention Program tracks and analyzes the most critical negotiations underway.
