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.
The two-day meeting brought together more than 20 senior experts and scholars to exchange views on the evolving global nuclear security landscape and explore opportunities for continued cooperation.
In response to the evolving threat environment, NTI convened former senior U.S. government officials and leading U.S. and international experts to examine major aspects of U.S. nuclear posture and policy.
"Testing nuclear weapons is unnecessary for U.S. national security, unwise because it will invite our adversaries to do the same, and unwelcome in communities close to the test site," said Moniz.
By revamping its strategy, the United States can help build a safer future and prevent a new wave of proliferation.
A new paper from NTI, “Global Nuclear Effects: Economic and Financial Fallout of Nuclear Use,” calls for an urgent reassessment of the economic consequences of nuclear conflict amid rising nuclear risks and deep global interdependencies.
Despite the high stakes, the economic and financial considerations of nuclear weapons use remain underexplored. This paper examines several decades of research on economic and financial effects of nuclear weapons use, and explores the key gaps in our understanding of effects in today’s interconnected world.
Christine E. Wormuth, a defense and national security leader who recently served as Secretary of the Army, is joining NTI as its new President and Chief Executive Officer.
At a time of rising global tensions and rapid technological change, NTI continues to deepen its international partnerships and promote productive dialogue on nuclear risk reduction efforts.
