NNSA Nonproliferation Program Redirects Foreign Scientific Expertise to Peaceful Projects

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) today highlighted the latest launch of a commercial product successfully developed and brought to market as a result of the Global Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (GIPP) program. NNSA’s GIPP program helps advance global nonproliferation efforts through collaborative research and development that applies the expertise of former weapons of mass destruction personnel to the development of civil-use technologies.

Today, U.S. Sen. Tom Udall joined officials from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for a ceremony at EDA Labs in Albuquerque, N.M., to officially start production of a new dental implant that uses stronger alloys that allow it to bond more quickly to human bone. The new implant is made with nanotitanium, a metal that is stronger than conventional alloys and integrates much more quickly with human bone. Created under a three-year partnership between LANL, several Russian institutes and New Mexico-based Manhattan Scientifics, the new implant material is more reliable and longer lasting and should result in faster post-surgery healing. It is the first dental implant made with nanotitanium that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
