The U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA), Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D) drives innovative research that develops technologies and expertise to detect foreign nuclear proliferation activities and produces technologies for integration into operational systems by leveraging capabilities at the DOE National Laboratories, Plants, and Other Field Sites, as well as at universities and within private industry. DNN R&D supports U.S. nuclear security objectives to reduce global nuclear security threats through the innovation of unilateral and multi-lateral technical capabilities to detect, identify, and characterize: 1) Foreign nuclear weapons development activities; 2) Illicit diversion of special nuclear materials; and 3) Nuclear explosions globally.
