Why Nuclear Safeguards Matters
Nuclear safeguards form the cornerstone of verifying the peaceful use of nuclear material and technology, supporting global security, stability, and compliance with non-proliferation treaties. Leadership and expertise in safeguards are essential for ensuring states meet their international obligations and for maintaining trust in an increasingly complex world. Nuclear safeguards require an understanding of:
- Safeguards principles, methodologies, and legal frameworks
- International and national regulatory systems and non-proliferation policy
