Overview:

As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national laboratory, ORNL has an 80-year legacy of supporting the nation’s security and strategic missions. ORNL is home to more than 7,000 dedicated, innovative staff, working in a culture that values diverse perspectives and backgrounds. In addition to cutting edge science, ORNL’s work includes protecting sensitive technologies and ensuring compliance with U.S. laws and international obligations designed to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems.

 

The Nuclear Nonproliferation Division (NND) at ORNL advances U.S. export control and nonproliferation objectives by providing subject matter expertise that strengthens national security policy, supports regulatory improvements, and enhances compliance and implementation at both localized and federal levels.

Our nonproliferation work spans the full spectrum of NCBM-related technologies and includes applied analysis and operational support that informs export control implementation, interdiction, compliance, and international engagements. The Section also supports the development of U.S. nonproliferation policy by providing technical analyses and recommendations that help propose, evaluate, and inform updates to relevant policies, guidance, and regulatory frameworks.
