Australia Ranked First, N Korea Last On Nuclear Safety

Australia has the tightest security controls among nations with nuclear material while North Korea poses the world's greatest risks, a new index by experts said today.

The Nuclear Threat Initiative, in a project led by former US senator Sam Nunn and the Economist Intelligence Unit, aims to draw attention to steps that nations can take to ensure the safety of the world's most destructive weapons.

Among 32 nations that possess at least one kilogram of weapons-usable nuclear materials, Australia was ranked as the most secure.
