Nobel Peace Center

The Norwegian Atlantic Committee, the Norwegian Nobel Institute and the Nobel Peace Center had the pleasure to invitie to Sikkerhetspolitisk dypdykk: Nuclear Security. Nuclear security is at the heart of the evolving nuclear proliferation agenda. There has been a nonproliferation treaty in place since 1970, but there is nothing in place to stop countries from enriching uranium for civilian purposes.

The Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) Bank that is being established in Kazakhstan may be part of the answer.
