The Nuclear Threat Initiative's biennial checkup shows nuclear safety conditions are "regressing among the dozens of countries and areas with weapons-usable nuclear materials and nuclear facilities" as geopolitical tensions rise.
The Washington-based NTI said its 2023 Nuclear Security Index on Tuesday marked the first-ever decline in safety since it began compiling the data in 2012. It noted that the erosion of nuclear security coincides with growing nuclear security dangers and alarming increases in stockpiles of weapons-usable nuclear materials.
