The explosion of one crude nuclear device in one city would change our world forever. Since the end of the Cold War, a serious effort has been under way to fully secure the world's nuclear material. But 20 years later, that has yet to be achieved and the new threat of nuclear terrorism has emerged.

Participants discussed the impact of Nuclear Security Summits developments in nuclear security since the 2010 summit in Washington, DC; and looked ahead to desired outcomes from the next Nuclear Security Summit in South Korea in 2012.
