On May 14th, North Korea tested its longest-range
missile to date: the Hwasong-12. This missile, which was only seen publicly for
the first time one month earlier, flew 787 kilometers with the potential to go
much further. Using open-source techniques, experts from the James Martin
Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) have uncovered details about the
missile that demonstrate how it was used by North Korea as a precursor to its intercontinental
ballistic missile (ICBM) test in July. The new analysis, by CNS East Asia
Nonproliferation Director Jeffrey Lewis includes several interactives depicting
their discoveries.

NTI and the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP) hosted an event on the margins of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) 67th General Conference to discuss key findings from the 2023 NTI Nuclear Security Index.
“The bottom line is that the countries and areas with the greatest responsibility for protecting the world from a catastrophic act of nuclear terrorism are derelict in their duty,” the 2023 NTI Index reports.
Nuclear security experts from around the world joined NTI Tuesday for a webinar on “Global Tools for Nuclear Security: An Introduction to IAEA Information Circulars on Nuclear Security.”
