Great Britain’s international global threat reduction activity is focused on ensuring safety, physical protection and non-proliferation. Several programmes, each addressing a different challenge, are implemented in this area. Thus, along with CNCP, which primarily facilitates creation of jobs for former nuclear specialists, there are programmes working on physical protection of fissile materials, immobilization of radioactive wastes, utilization of chemical weapons, biological safety and other areas.

CNCP has a very important peculiarity. Back in the Soviet times, and even now, practically everywhere in the world, and I have seen it in Europe and in the USA, business has been the top priority. In other words, if there is an aim to create something, people simply serve as the means to achieve this goal. Therefore, an effort to place an emphasis on a person, setting up good conditions for people is exceptional. As a rule, we all pretend to understand that “personnel are the key resource”, but this is no more than just a slogan.
