DC Gets $30M Grant to Protect Against Nuclear Threats
The Department of Homeland Security has awarded Washington, D.C., a $30 million grant to expand its ability to detect and deter nuclear and radiological threats.
The grant, which will be distributed to Washington over five years, was made by DHS' Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, which runs a program called Securing the Cities. That program started in 2006 and provided aide to New York City, and was then expanded to the Los Angeles/Long Beach area.
