U.S. NNSA and Brazil Partner to Secure Radioactive Material

The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), an agency of the Department of Energy, has successfully collaborated with Brazilian partners to remove a cesium-137 source from a hospital in Manaus. This U.S.-led operation aims to mitigate radiological security risks and prevent dangerous materials from being misused, thereby bolstering both American and global security efforts. The initiative underscores ongoing international cooperation in nuclear safety.
