Providing free and open access to centralized information on incidents of nuclear and other radioactive material that has been lost, stolen, or is otherwise out of regulatory control, the Global Incidents and Trafficking Database and Annual Reports prepared by the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) offer researchers and policymakers a unique resource to assess the nature and scope of nuclear security risks.

The database currently includes 1,156 incidents reported between January 2013 and October 2019, with accompanying annual reports, maps, and infographics. Previous annual reports and visuals can be viewed at the database’s archive page. The below searchable map contains all incidents between 2013 and 2018. Subsequent infographics highlight key findings from the 2018 Annual Report.
