The Republic of Korea (ROK) has been and remains a staunch supporter of the global nonproliferation regime as it borders a grave security threat and proliferator of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). With the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit just months away, the Republic of Korea should be more interested in enhancing UNSCR 1540, not only as the Summit Chair but against the backdrop of a “Global Korea” policy and the nation’s growing prominence in the nuclear energy industry.

A Fukushima-like nuclear accident does not have to be caused by nature. Similar results could be wrought by a dedicated terrorist group that gained access to a nuclear power plant and disabled its safety systems.

“There are clear ways in which Seoul can capitalize on its strengths to flavor the 2012 [Nuclear Security Summit] with a “Korean twist” as it maintains depth on key substantive issues that ensure the security of nuclear materials, parts, and facilities…The challenge lies in clearly demonstrating that the benefits outweigh the costs, and that states would have a national interest in further investing their political capital in nuclear security," writes Duyeon Kim, Deputy Director of Nuclear Non-Proliferation in The Nautilus Institute Policy Forum.

While Washington, DC has been riven between Democratic-Republican open warfare on the debt ceiling, Kingston Reif suggests three immediate steps that Congress can take to reduce the danger posed by nuclear weapons and the materials that could be used to make them, all of which enjoy strong bipartisan support – a rare occurrence on Capitol Hill these days.

The House Appropriations Committee approved its version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill on June 15. Given a low budget ceiling, the Committee did it’s best to protect vital material security and nonproliferation efforts and made sensible cuts to nuclear modernization programs. Nevertheless, the cuts to threat reduction programs are difficult to comprehend, writes Kingston Reif in this new analysis, since these programs counter the most serious threat confronting our national security: the threat of nuclear terrorism.
