* The Nuclear Industry Summit is an official side event of the Nuclear Security Summit. Both NIS and NSS were started in 2010 after President Obama announced an international effort to secure vulnerable nuclear materials, break up black markets, and detect and intercept illicitly trafficked materials. Previous Summits were held in the U.S. (2010), South Korea (2012) and the Netherlands (2014).
