Nuclear Security Study Group

The Nuclear Security Study Group” is an innovative effort launched by the Center for National Policy to inform Congress and the public on the issues of nuclear non-proliferation and securing loose fissile nuclear material. The ever-growing NSSG currently includes a bipartisan group of 34 Representatives and eight Senators who are committed to placing nuclear security at the top of America’s national security agenda. The NSSG has two main efforts: the NSSG Speakers Series, which educates the public on issues related to nuclear security, and NSSG Members Events, which bring together Members of Congress to develop a concrete agenda for tackling the issue of nuclear security. CNP’s focus lies with the Middle East and Pakistan, as these two volatile regions present the greatest threat of the world’s most dangerous technology falling into the wrong hands.

With a $250,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation, the Nuclear Security Study Group is designed to help improve Congressional understanding and deliberation of nuclear security issues. The NSSG includes thirty-four Representatives and eight Senators who are committed to building a bi-partisan consensus to place nuclear security at the top of America’s national security agenda.
