The U.S. ended explosive nuclear testing in the 1990s, but that does not mean we are unprepared. In its place, the U.S. uses a science-based program that checks the health of the stockpile continuously and reports out every year to the President.
One of the most consequential decisions countries will face is whether to take a costly detour into nuclear fuel reprocessing, a technology that has failed every promise it has made.
To younger generations, nuclear threats often feel like a thing of the past. Engaging Gen Z requires new tools, like art and film, to connect with people in ways they understand and humanize the issues.
By revamping its strategy, the United States can help build a safer future and prevent a new wave of proliferation.
Unlike past technological disruptions to global security which were driven by governments, market forces and business dominate today’s global innovation space. This includes working not only with thought leaders, but the doers that affect change. The latest FutureSafe Innovation Forum welcomed Dr. Kimberly Budil, Director of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, to discuss the future of national security science.
New research is beginning to reveal how nuclear use could trigger widespread environmental damage, economic disruption, societal upheaval, and global instability. A modern, evidence-based understanding of these risks is essential for decision-makers and the public to grasp what is at stake if nuclear deterrence fails.
August 29 is the International Day Against Nuclear Tests—a time to recognize the devastating toll of nuclear weapons tests and to recommit to a future without them.
