This open access book is based on the conference organised by
Accademia dei Lincei and the US National Academy of Sciences and
supported by the Italian Ministero degli Affari Esteri. It was
attended by about 60 scientists and researchers from 13 countries,
including, besides Europe, Iran, Israel, Iraq, Pakistan, India,
Japan, Russian Federation and the USA. In an international
scenario shaken by the uncertainties of the pandemic and the war
between Russia and Ukraine, dialogue and scientific collaboration
are confirmed to be precious tools to enhance nuclear safety,
security and non-proliferation. The urgency to open peace
discussions in Ukraine was emphasised by all participants, and the
belief that science can make an essential contribution to
peace construction was reaffirmed. Current challenges (some new,
such as autonomous weapons and the use of artificial intelligence
for war purposes) are discussed and attempts made to identify
possible solutions and future improvements, including in the
field of sustainable energy development.

This open access book examines key aspects of international
cooperation to enhance nuclear safety, security, safeguards, and
nonproliferation, thereby assisting in development and maintenance
of the verification regime and fostering progress toward a nuclear
weapon-free world. Current challenges are discussed and attempts
made to identify possible solutions and future improvements,
considering scientific developments that have the potential to
increase the effectiveness of implementation of international
regimes, particularly in critical areas, technology foresight, and
the ongoing evaluation of current capabilities.

To help prioritize among possible investments to improve the
resilience of built infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico region,
the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
convened a diverse group of experts for a 3-day interactive
workshop on November 15, 16, and 18, 2021. This workshop was held
as communities surrounding the Gulf continue to experience
frequent, destructive disasters, some infrastructure in the region
continues to degrade or fail from exceeded capacity and delayed
maintenance and replacement, and climate change threatens
previously unimagined impacts. The workshop, titled Investing in
Resilient Infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico, demonstrated and
refined a process to help inform recommendations for prioritizing
infrastructure investments across sectors and anchored in the Gulf
region energy industry. This publication summarizes the
presentation and discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents

On August 25-26, 2014, the Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e
Nucleares (IPEN) and the National Research Council of the U.S.
National Academy of Sciences convened the Brazil-U.S. Workshop on
Strengthening the Culture of Nuclear Safety and Security. The
workshop, held on the IPEN Campus in Sao Paulo, Brazil, examined
how a culture of nuclear safety and security is built and
maintained within the nuclear science, technology, and industrial
sectors. Participants identified opportunities for cooperation to
strengthen that culture and shared research, perspectives, and
practices. This report summarizes the presentation and discussion
of that event. Table of Contents Front Matter Overview Introduction
I The Relationship Between Safety Culture and Security Culture II
Safety Analysis, Vulnerability Assessment, and the Design of
Integrated Solutions III Performance Assessment and Improvement of
Safety and Security Culture IV Training and Education for Safety
and Security Culture V Lessons-Learned Processes and Implementing
Change VI Influence of Leadership and Hierarchy on Safety and
Security Culture Concluding Remarks Appendix A: Brazil-U.S.

India and the United States are the world's two largest democracies
with distinguished scientific traditions and experts in a wide
range of scientific-technical fields. Given these strengths and the
ability to learn from one another, the U.S. National Academy of
Sciences together with the National Institute for Advanced Studies
in Bangalore, India, held a joint Indian-U.S. workshop to identify
and examine potential areas for substantive scientific and
technical cooperation that can support counterterrorism efforts
through the Homeland Security Dialogue and through direct
cooperation. India-United States Cooperation on Science and
Technology for Countering Terrorism is the summary of that
workshop. This report examines topics such as biological threats;
protection of nuclear facilities; security (physical and cyber) for
chemicals, chemical facilities and other critical infrastructure;
and monitoring, surveillance, and emergency response. The report
also identifies and examines promising areas for further
Indian-U.S. cooperation.
The U.S. government has made safeguarding of weapons-grade
plutonium and highly enriched uranium an international policy
priority, and convened The 2010 Nuclear Security Summit in
Washington, D.C., on April 12 and 13, 2010. Forty six governments
sent delegations to the summit and twenty nine of them made
national commitments to support nuclear security. During the
Summit, India announced its commitment to establish a Global Centre
for Nuclear Energy Partnership. The Centre is to be open to
international participation through academic0 exchanges, training,
and research and development efforts. India-United States
Cooperation on Global Security is the summary of a workshop held by
the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) together with its
partner of more than 15 years, the National Institute for Advanced
Studies (NIAS) in Bangalore, India. The workshop identified and
examined potential areas for substantive scientific and technical
cooperation between the two countries on issues related to nuclear
material security. Technical experts from India and the United
States focused on topics of nuclear material security and promising
opportunities for India and the United States to learn from each
other and cooperate. This report discusses nuclear materials
management issues such as nuclear materials accounting, cyber
security, physical security, and nuclear forensics. Table of
