Structuring cooperative nuclear risk reduction initiatives with China
The Stanford Center for International Security and Cooperation engaged several Chinese nuclear
organizations in cooperative research that focused on responses to radiological and nuclear terrorism. The objective was to identify joint research initiatives to reduce the global dangers of such threats and to pursue initial technical collaborations in several high priority areas.
Initiatives were identified in three primary research areas: 1) detection and interdiction of smuggled nuclear materials; 2) nuclear forensics; and 3) radiological (“dirty bomb”) threats and
countermeasures. Initial work emphasized the application of systems and risk analysis tools, which proved effective in structuring the collaborations. The extensive engagements between national
security nuclear experts in China and the U.S. during the research strengthened professional
relationships between these important communities.Project on Advanced Systems and Concepts for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (PASCC)Grant Number N00244-14-I-003
