Valens Global
Project Title
For assessing the threat of nuclear terrorism through an actor-centric and demand-focused framework
Date
Sep. 13, 2018
Duration
18 months
Description
Governments and international organizations spend substantial effort to reduce the risks posed by nuclear materials. Nevertheless, there remain serious gaps in understanding the “demand side” of the equation. How should we think about the level of nuclear threat posed by particular sub-state actors? This grant provides seed funding toward a new framework for this sort of threat assessment. Valens Global and its consortium of experts and end-users will create a proof of concept that could be further elaborated by governments and other entities dealing with this threat.
