The Results of the NSS Series 1) reducing the amount of dangerous nuclear materials: since 2009, 12 countries have removed all HEU from their territory 15 countries repatriated HEU or plutonium (or in the process of doing that) 13 countries signed up for the HEU-Free Joint Statement 17 countries converted or are still converting their research reactors or medical isotope production facilities 9 countries declared that they are engaged in research and development to use LEU instead of HEU members of the Hague meeting committed to minimize their plutonium stockpiles 2) improving the security of all nuclear material and radioactive sources: reviewing and updating their national legislation on nuclear security 28 countries installed additional radiological detection systems at ports or border checkpoints or equipped mobile search teams with these systems 21 countries signed up for the “Counter Nuclear Smuggling” Gift Basket 12 countries created training centres for nuclear security plus: securing sensitive nuclear information as well as all radioactive sources 3) improving international cooperation: by the creation of a coherent and comprehensive nuclear security architecture by the entry into force of the 2005 amended CPPNM by using the IAEA's IPPAS missions plus: additional voluntary measures

The Nuclear Industry Summit (NIS) High level event for CEO’s from the nuclear industry leaders from worldwide, 3 working groups (self control, cyber threats, materials) Main objectives: implement effective security arrangements within the national regulatory frameworks ensure confidence in the nuclear industry through transparency, integrity, ethical behavior and social responsability Joint statement – specific recommendations: incorporate national + international guidance and good practices routine evaluations of the sufficiency of security provisions corporate governance measures in nuclear security accountability for security (physical protection, cyber…) enhancing international co-operation further minimize the use of HEU accepting the return of disused sources which they supplied
