• In 2008, the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) established the Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI) to develop the policies, concepts, technologies, expertise and infrastructure necessary to strengthen and sustain the international safeguards system as it evolves to meet new challenges. NGSI has focused on renewing U.S. capabilities to support international safeguards, and is intended to serve as a catalyst for a broader international commitment to support international safeguards. In 2015, NGSI has a budget of approximately $50M.
