CIGI has released a five-point Action Plan that recommends specific steps that the international community should take to:

* Ensure that all states are committed to and capable of implementing the highest nuclear safety standards
* Ensure that all nuclear material and facilities are secure from unauthorized access or terrorist seizure or attack
* Ensure that a nuclear revival does not contribute to proliferation of nuclear weapons
* Reinforce the centrality of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) through increased funding, modernization and reform; and
* Ensure that all stakeholders, especially industry, participate in judiciously managing a nuclear revival.

CIGI’s Nuclear Energy Futures Project was conducted in partnership with the Canadian Centre for Treaty Compliance (CCTC) at Carleton University in Ottawa.
