Our work educates government policymakers, politicians, policy specialists and citizens in many countries to the need for pragmatic steps to reduce the dangers from these weapons, as well as related knowledge and materials. Current projects focus on the requirements to "get to zero" nuclear weapons; engagement with developing nations to identify and advance investments that address nonproliferation goals while meeting development needs; and, promotion of a code of conduct among space fairing nations to prevent the weaponization of space.

However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Center's tax-exempt purpose is subjected to taxation as unrelated business income. The Center had net unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2014, generated by subleasing activities. Effective January 1, 2009, the Center adopted a policy that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements. The policy prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. The implementation of this policy had no impact on the Center's financial statements. The Center's tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, local and state authorities. The tax returns for years 2014 to 2011 are open to examination by federal, local and state authorities.
