The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) Nuclear Materials Security Index is a first-of-its-kind public benchmarking project of nuclear materials security conditions on a country-by-country basis. The NTI Index, prepared with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) with guidance from an international panel of experts, was created to spark an international discussion about priorities required to strengthen security, and, most importantly, encourage governments to provide assurances and take actions to reduce risks.
Please join us for a panel discussion followed by a Q&A session and luncheon with:
- Page Stoutland, Vice President, Nuclear Materials Security, NTI
- Deepti Choubey, Senior Director for Nuclear and Bio-Security, NTI
- Hilary Ewing, Senior Analyst, Economist Intelligence Unit

Understanding
the Nuclear Threat
Reducing the risk of nuclear use by terrorists and nation-states requires a broad set of complimentary strategies targeted at reducing state reliance on nuclear weapons, stemming the demand for nuclear weapons and denying organizations or states access to the essential nuclear materials, technologies and know-how.
