The National Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Strategy and its respective Action Plan (NAP) represent an integral part of a country’s national security system. The CBRN NAP contains a list of actions and priorities, specific tasks, timelines to be implemented and respected by the lead agencies in support of other stakeholders within a specified timeframe. For this reason, the entire development process requires a lot of efforts and investment.
