Physicists Coalition for Nuclear Threat Reduction

Experience proves that citizen engagement and collective pressure on governments can push national policies toward reducing nuclear threats worldwide. 

Physicists, especially in the United States, have had a significant influence on nuclear weapons policy since the start of the nuclear age. Yet today, this issue receives scant attention from the US physics community broadly, reflecting the post-cold war waning of public concern about nuclear weapon dangers. 

A new generation of the physics community must become informed, engaged, and active as knowledgeable advocates on this pressing issue. 

Our goal is to reach out to physicists and physical scientists in the United States and mobilize those interested in opportunities for nuclear threat reduction. Together we can be a powerful voice to inform Congress and other key stakeholders in policy making, including the public.
