They could do so by offering a "gift basket",[3] which is an extra initiative that can functioned as a role model for a specific security aspect (provided that it is supported by other countries).

In addition to better physical security, improving of sensitive information would also help to reduce the likelihood of a terrorist act with radiological or nuclear material, a dirty bomb.

Installing radiation detection equipment would increase the probability of getting caught when smuggling and this would decrease the likelihood of people trying to acquire the materials in the first place.

Since 2009, 12 countries worldwide (Austria, Chile, Czechia, Hungary, Libya, Mexico, Romania, Serbia, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam) had removed all highly enriched uranium from their territory.

During the summit, 30 countries supported development of a National Legislation Implementation Kit on Nuclear Security that countries could use as building blocks to incorporate the various guidelines into binding national regulations The schedule for the first day of the summit was as follows:[8] Additionally, an emergency meeting of the G7 took place at 6:30 pm (CET) at the Catshuis (the official residence of the prime minister) to discuss the annexation of Ukrainian Crimea by Russia.

[10] The summit continued the next day with the following events:[8] Japan welcomed the opening of the summit with the pledge that it agreed to transfer to the US a (relatively small) part of its nuclear material: more than 700 pounds of weapons-grade plutonium and a large quantity of highly enriched uranium, a decades-old research stockpile allegedly of American and British origin, said to be large enough "to build dozens of nuclear weapons", according to American and Japanese officials.

Since he began the meetings with world leaders, 13 states had eliminated their caches of nuclear materials and many more improved the security measures around their storage facilities, to prevent theft by potential terrorists.

In February 2014, China began denouncing Japan's supply, in apparent warning that a nationalistic turn in Japanese politics could result in the country seeking its own weapons.

At various moments right-wing politicians in Japan had referred to the stockpile as a deterrent, suggesting that it was useful to have material so that the world knows the country could easily fashion it into weapons.

[13] The leaders of the remaining 18 countries have refused to adopt the Nuclear Security Guidelines, namely China, Russia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Argentina, Thailand, South Africa, Malaysia, Nigeria, Singapore, Egypt, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Jordan, and Gabon.

The area directly around the World Forum Convention Centre, where the summit was held, was completely closed off with fences borrowed from the UK which were previously used at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

[20] Because of the heavy security precautions, a number of roads around the World Forum and some major motorways between Schiphol Airport and The Hague were partially or completely closed for regular traffic.

[22] Even though no major security incidents took place during the duration of the summit, it was reported that two students managed to get access to the final press conference by disguising themselves as journalists.
