Threat Reduction Vision

The Threat Reduction (TR) Directorate vision is to help reduce or deter threats to U.S. national security.

The Directorate seeks to enhance our nation's security. We do so by developing and applying the Laboratory's technical capabilities to an array of threats that have emerged since the end of the cold war. These threats include weakened control over nuclear materials and expertise from the former Soviet Union (FSU), proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the more lethal aims of today's terrorists, and the emergence of "rogue states" threatening U.S. interests and regional stability.

Respect for each individual and appreciation for each employees' contribution, regardless of position, are hallmarks of the TR Directorate.
