ABSTRACT
The Global Center for Nuclear Energy Partnership (GCNEP) is designed to be a state-of-the-art training centre based upon international collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency and other interested foreign partners. The Centre symbolizes India’s “commitment to national and international fraternity to forge global partnership for development of technologies and processes which will promote large-scale yet sustainable, safe and secure exploitation of nuclear energy”. The primary aim of India’s nuclear security policy is to secure its nuclear weapons, fissile materials and associated facilities against unauthorized access, divergence or sabotage, and to prevent, detect and effectively respond to any nuclear incident. India’s progress in nuclear technology is sought after by nations such as France, Russia, Republic of Korea, United Kingdom, Australia, and Kazakhstan. India’s GCNEP is actively engaged in addressing the threats of nuclear terrorism, and the possible misuse of radioactive sources for a potential radiation dispersal device.
