The World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS) – From Concept to Reality

I should like to thank the INMM for this excellent opportunity to bring the conference up to date on the World Institute for Nuclear Security, WINS, a new international forum to be formed for nuclear security professionals to exchange best practices, with the aim of improving nuclear security worldwide. I also hope it will be an opportunity to seek your views and ideas, given the vast experience and knowledge in this room and that WINS will provide a forum for you to promote and share your own areas of excellence. Jim Tape gave the INMM conference an update on behalf of the WINS Coordinating Committee this time last year in Tucson and it is my privilege to do so this year on behalf of the Coordinating Committee, consisting of Corey Hinderstein, Joyce Connery and, of course, Jim Tape.
