Nonproliferation and Arms Control

NPAC works to close proliferation pathways to the acquisition of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction (WMD)-related materials, technology, and expertise by executing programs that: build the capacity of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and partner countries to implement international safeguards obligations and detect and deter diversion of nuclear material or illicit use of nuclear facilities; build domestic and international capacity to implement export control obligations and prevent illicit transfers of nuclear and WMD-related material, equipment, and technology; support negotiation and implementation of agreements and associated monitoring regimes to verifiably reduce nuclear weapons, nuclear programs, and other WMD; and develop programs and strategies to address emerging nonproliferation and arms control challenges and opportunities.
