The Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is a group of nuclear supplier countries that seeks to contribute to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons through the implementation of two sets of guidelines for nuclear exports and nuclear-related exports. The Center on Global Energy Policy hosted two panels of experts to discuss past NSG activities as well as current policy topics confronting the group. The first panel focused in particular on the NSG export control lists and their associated guidelines, as well as institutional aspects of the group. The second panel highlighted policy topics such as membership, outreach, and implications for the NSG from a potential growth in nuclear energy usage by 2050 to address climate change.
