The explosion of one crude nuclear device in one city would change our world forever. Since the end of the Cold War, a serious effort has been under way to fully secure the world's nuclear material. But 20 years later, that has yet to be achieved and the new threat of nuclear terrorism has emerged. Panelists will discuss the impact of Nuclear Security Summits and developments in nuclear security since the 2010 summit in Washington, DC, with a look ahead to desired outcomes from the next Nuclear Security Summit in South Korea in 2012.
Panelists include:
Laura Holgate Senior Director, WMD Terrorism & Threat Reduction at the National Security Council
Christopher A. Ford Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for Technology and Global Security, Hudson Institute Former United States Special Representative for Nuclear Nonproliferation
Kenneth Luongo Co-Chair, Fissile Materials Working Group President, Partnership for Global Security
Co-Chaired by Richard Weitz Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for Political-Military Analysis, Hudson Institute
Co-Chaired and moderated by Jennifer Smyser Program Officer, Policy and Outreach, Stanley Foundation
