Rethinking the India Nuclear Technology Transfer Deal

FAS was founded 60 years ago to encourage international openness and control of nuclear industry and to fight for nuclear disarmament. The Federation recognizes that the Indian nuclear deal is not simply a problem of one agreement with one country, rather the United States has a critical role in setting the direction for the future of nuclear power and nuclear proliferation across the world. Most of the world's nuclear weapons are a legacy of the Cold War and held by the United States and Russia. The United States cannot continue to treat nuclear weapons as militarily useful and politically salient while expecting to stop global nuclear proliferation. The Indian nuclear deal is just one symptom of a bigger problem. SPEAKERS: Henry Kelly, President, Federation of American Scientists Michael Krepon, Co-founder and President Emeritus of the Henry L. Stimson Center Len Weiss, Consultant and former Staff Director of the U.S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs.
