NSG--Nuclear Suppliers Group: Also known as the "London Club," the NSG was established in 1975 to ensure that nuclear exports are made only under appropriate safeguards, nonproliferation conditions, and other restraints. The NSG also works to restrict exports of sensitive items that can contribute to nuclear weapons proliferation. The USSR participated in the London Club, along with Canada, France, FRG, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States in 1975, but the NSG guidelines were not formally published by the IAEA until January 1978. (Click here for a US Department of State fact sheet.)
ZAC--Zangger Committee: Established in 1971 to form a "trigger list" of special fissionable materials and equipment and materials designed or prepared for the processing, use, or production thereof. (Click here for a US Department of State fact sheet.)
MTCR--Missile Technology Control Regime: Formally established in 1987, the MTCR is an informal non-treaty association of governments desiring to control the transfer of certain delivery vehicle technologies, thereby reducing the risk for proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. (Please see the full text of MTCR guidelines and a US Department of State fact sheet, which includes a list of members.)
WASS--Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies: Created by 33 states in 1996, the Wassenaar Arrangement fosters regional and international security through promoting transparency and greater responsibility regarding the transfer of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies.
