For Professors: Updated Curriculum Based on NTI Index Now Available
An updated, two-session education module on nuclear materials security for undergraduate or graduate courses is now available, based on the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit
Since the release of the 2012 NTI Index, seven states—Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico, Sweden, Ukraine, and Vietnam—have removed all or most of the stocks of weapons-usable nuclear materials from their territories, according to the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration.
In doing so, they have taken the most important step a state can take toward ensuring that terrorists cannot gain access to the materials needed to build a nuclear bomb. As a result, the number of states with one kilogram or more of weapons- usable nuclear materials is now 25, down from 32 when the 2012 NTI Index was released.
This three-minute video highlights the actions of seven countries to remove their weapons-usable nuclear materials.
