Based on independent research involving over 150 confidential interviews with industry, regulators, non governmental and governmental  organizations, the report examines methods to incentivize voluntary adoption of nuclear security measures in civilian nuclear operations.   Growing demand for nuclear energy combined with the rising tide of violence and extremism demands innovative solutions to strengthen the largely voluntary nuclear security regime. This report proposes an economic way to more efficiently and effectively promote risk management in nuclear security spending.
