In the 1980th and the 1990th years while Pakistan builds the nuclear program, questions of nuclear safety and management weren't the main care. Everything changed after act of terrorism in the USA on September 11, 2001, the message about a meeting in the summer of 2001 of two retired Pakistan scientists, the Sultan Mahmoud of Bashiruddin and Abdoul Majid, with Osama bin Laden then was carried. Until then, concern apropos "freedoms of the nuclear weapon" and smuggling of nuclear materials were concentrated to the territory of the former Soviet Union.

Pakistan existed under the threat of invasion throughout all the life. Some wars were conducted with India one of which led to the Pakistan national contentions. New doctrines of war to win and destroy Pakistan continue to be put into practice and to be carried out in India. From the middle of the 1980th years, six large military crises of different degree of intensity forced Pakistan to consider physical invasion from India, as existential threat.

After nuclear tests in 1998 the Pakistan nuclear program faced three basic needs. It was necessary to reconsider a national security policy, an institutionalization of management of the nuclear program, and also to develop reasonable strategy for reliable strategic forces. The first task demands, that Pakistan improved the device of the national security capable comprehensively to analyze policy of national security in changing conditions. This task is solved at national political level. The remained two problems are connected with the civil, military and scientific country leaders. The department of strategic plans formed in 1999, provides institutional supervision of decision-making on nuclear questions.

Pakistan improved the supervising procedures for military and scientific shots. Safety is improved, the reporting system for control of movement of all officials is created. Two similar programs of reliability of the personnel (by PRP and HRP), for the military and civil personnel, respectively were created.

In 2001 US Secretary of State Colin Powell offer the help of nuclear safety to the president of Pakistan to general Pervez Musharraf. The department of strategic plans attentively studied the offer, but refused transfer of technologies as it is perceived as intervention and attempt to destroy the national nuclear program. [7]
