• Provide information to ANS members, the technical community at large, opinion leaders, and decision makers to improve their understanding of nuclear nonproliferation issues.
  
  
• Become a recognized technical resource on nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and security issues.
  
  
• Serve as the integration and coordination body for nuclear nonproliferation activities for the ANS.
  
  
• Work cooperatively with other ANS divisions to achieve these objectives.
