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
