Department Colloquium | The Increasing Peril From Nuclear Arms: And How Physicists Can Help Reduce the Threat
Prof. Stewart Prager (APS, Physicists Coalition for Nuclear Threat Reduction Astrophysical Sciences (Princeton University))
Department Colloquium Link: http://myumi.ch/GkgBm
With geopolitical and technological changes mostly driven by the nuclear weapons states, we are slipping towards a new arms race and deterioration of the multi-decade arms control regime. This talk will describe the current critical situation, feasible steps to reduce the nuclear threat, and a new project sponsored by the American Physical Society to engage physical scientists in advocacy for nuclear threat reduction.
The colloquium will be followed by a short meeting for those interested in learning about the APS Physicists Coalition for Threat Reduction.
