Approximately 100 representatives from civilian nuclear facilities and research institutes throughout China and the US are in Beijing to attend the joint China-US Integrated Nuclear Material Management Techology Demonstration.

Aiming to promote the adoption of modern security practices and technologies at civilian nuclear facilities, the display shows established physical protection, nuclear material control and international safeguards technologies, that provide a first line of defense against nuclear material theft, diversion and sabotage.

Administor of the US National Nuclear Security Adminstration, Linton Brooks said the team work between the Chinese and the American representatives is a model for future cooperative projects.

"This demonstration shows what we can accomplish working together. It's very impressive, and it sets the ground work for continued cooperation in material protection and other non-proliferation areas."
