The 2016 Nuclear Industry Summit (NIS) will include a final joint statement from the reports from working groups and previous summits, underscoring the important role of the nuclear industry internationally in setting high standards and best practices for the secure use, storage, and transport of nuclear and radiological materials. The 2016 NIS will hold an awards luncheon to recognize leaders within the international community that have advanced security standards and practices within the nuclear industry, as well as an exhibition center on the achievements and progress of various industry organizations in furthering nuclear security. Ultimately, the NIS seeks to highlight the benefits of civilian applications of nuclear technology, the accomplishments of the nuclear industry in mitigating nuclear security risks, and the need for vigilance by industry stakeholders in continually improving their security practices in the face of ever-evolving threats.
