Past Project Detecting Proliferation Risks through Public Data
Open, increasingly digital data combined with tools for data analytics can supplement traditional nonproliferation efforts by detecting illicit proliferation
Reducing Nuclear Weapon Risks
Innovating policy and technical solutions
If a nuclear weapon exploded in a major city, the blast center would be hotter than the surface of the sun; tornado-strength winds would spread the flames; and a million or more people could die. Survivors would have no electricity, no transportation, no phones—and hospitals would be overwhelmed, if they were still standing.
Today, nine countries—China, India, Israel, France, North Korea, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States—hold nearly 13,000 nuclear weapons. Persistent threats of accidental or unauthorized use, terrorism, the proliferation of nuclear technologies and materials, and cyberattacks on facilities or command-and-control systems require innovative, practical solutions. NTI works globally to address the range of nuclear-weapon risks.
