The International Nuclear Security program collaborates with partners world-wide to improve the security of proliferation-sensitive materials, particularly weapons-usable nuclear material in both civilian and non-civilian use in key countries. As part of these efforts, INS works with partner countries to:

• Upgrade and sustain physical security and material control and accounting systems;
• Develop national-level nuclear security infrastructure in areas such as regulations, inspections, and transportation,
• Implement nuclear security training, in areas such as IAEA INFCIRC 225, transportation security, design basis threat, mitigation of insider threat, process monitoring, knowledge security;
• Jointly conduct technical best practices exchanges; and
• Enhance nuclear security culture.

INS also supports the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Division of Nuclear Security by providing technical and policy support for the development of IAEA nuclear security guidance documents and associated courses, and providing subject matter experts for IAEA training workshops, International Physical Protection Advisory Service (IPPAS) missions, technical and other consultancies, and senior advisory committees.
