Correct Answer: Neither 1 nor 2. ● The Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) is a world summit, aimed at preventing nuclear terrorism around the globe. The first summit was held in Washington, D.C. in 2010. The Nuclear Security Summit is not held under the aegis of the United Nations. ● The International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM), established in 2006, is a group of independent nuclear experts. It aims to advance international initiatives to “secure and to sharply reduce all stocks of highly enriched uranium and separated plutonium, the key materials in nuclear weapons, and to limit any further production”. ● The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is an international organization that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and to inhibit its use for any military purpose, including nuclear weapons. IAEA reports to both the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council. ● The International Atomic Energy Agency has no relation with the International Panel on Fissile Materials.
