About the US-Russia Initiative to Prevent Nuclear Terrorism

From 2009, the US-Russia Initiative to Prevent Nuclear Terrorism encouraged U.S.-Russian cooperation to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons and stop acts of nuclear terrorism.

Building on existing efforts to understand and prevent nuclear terrorism, this initiative looked to instate a joint US-Russian assessment of the threat of nuclear terrorism to develop concepts, strategy, and actions to prevent a successful nuclear attack by terrorists.
