Ten years of Nuclear Security Education, Research and Training at Texas AM University

摘要

The Nuclear Security Science and Policy Institute (NSSPI) is a multidisciplinary organization at Texas A&M University administered by the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES). NSSPI was established in March 2006 to promote graduate-level research-based education by focusing on topics related to nuclear material safeguards and security [1, 2]. NSSPI's mission is to employ science, engineering and policy expertise (a) to conduct research and development to help detect, prevent and reverse nuclear and radiological proliferation and guards against nuclear terrorism, (b) to educate the next generation of nuclear security leaders, (c) to analyze the interrelationship between policy and technology in the field of nuclear security, and (d) to serve as a public resource of knowledge and skills to reduce nuclear threats.
