Does U.S. nuclear security culture rely too much on secrecy and exclusion? How does this impact threat perception, access to sensitive information and materials, and hiring practices? In an exploratory study, the Stimson Center spoke with a range of nuclear security stakeholders in government, industry, and civil society to understand how the intersections of structural bias and domestic violent extremism can exacerbate insider threats, as well as how diversity, equity, and inclusion practices can mitigate these risks.

Join the Stimson Center and a panel of experts as they discuss the study and its policy recommendations for how stakeholders can create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive nuclear security community.
