Nuclear Threat Initiative Report Flags Record Drop in U.S. Nuclear Safety Score

A new report by the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) indicates a 'dramatic deterioration' in U.S. nuclear security, with the country's score falling by 10 points to 66 out of 100. This represents the largest decline in the NTI's history. The report attributes this drop primarily to the erosion of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) independence under the Trump administration, citing executive orders that compromised its oversight authority. While a White House official defended the changes as pro-innovation reforms, the NTI criticized the move. The report also noted North Korea's poor standing and recognized Ukraine's efforts in nuclear security despite ongoing conflict.
