The EU CBRNE Glossary is the EU official glossary on chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive risks (CBRNe).

The aim is to achieve a common understanding of terms related to CBRNe areas and facilitate the work of all intervenients in CBRNe-related activities not only within the European Union, but also outside its borders.
