Islamabad: A US study on worldwide nuclear materials security for 2014 has lauded Pakistan for showing remarkable improvement towards nuclear security regulations and practices.
The 2014 Nuclear Threat Initiative [NTI] Index has ranked Pakistan above India in terms of nuclear safety.
India is ranked 23rd out of 25 countries with weapons-usable nuclear materials in the world while Pakistan is placed 22nd on the index.
In the 2014 NTI Index, the scores of the nine nuclear-armed states remained mostly static, with some states’ scores increasing or decreasing by a single point.
“Pakistan was a notable exception, with its score increasing by three points,” the NTI Index acknowledged in its latest assessment.
“Pakistan, which improved its score by three points compared with 2012, demonstrated the largest improvement of any nuclear-armed state.
Pakistan is taking steps to update its nuclear security regulations and to implement nuclear security best practices.”
