Guarding the U.S. Against Nuclear Smuggling Threats
Duncan heard testimony from Todd Owen, Executive Assistant Commissioner with the Office of Field Operations at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Department of Homeland Security. Owen highlighted that as the lead Department of Homeland Security agency for border security, CBP’s approach incorporates three layered elements to improve supply chain integrity, promote economic viability and increase resilience across the entire global supply chain system:
• Advance Information and Targeting. Obtaining information about cargo, vessels and persons involved early in the shipment process and using advanced targeting techniques to increase domain awareness and assess the risk of all components and factors in the supply chain;
• Government and Private Sector Collaboration. Enhancing federal and private sector partnerships and collaborating with foreign governments to extend enforcement efforts outward to points earlier in the supply chain; and
• Advanced Detection Equipment and Technology. Maintaining robust inspection regimes at points of entry including the use of non-intrusive inspection equipment and radiation detection technologies.
