SUMMARY:Oppenheimer and the Legacy of the Manhattan Project: Current Challenges in Nuclear Arms Control | University of Toronto
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nEighty years ago\, Robert Oppenheimer led an industrial-scale effort with more than 130\,000 employees to create the nuclear fission weapons used to end World War II. With the United States and its allies facing totalitarian aggressors in the European and Pacific theaters\, many elite scientists\, engineers and technicians supported the Manhattan Project through their scientific and technological innovations. \nToday\, nine countries possess nuclear weapons. Nuclear non-proliferation diplomacy is increasingly difficult. Important arms control treaties have been terminated: The Intermediate Nuclear Force Treaty\, the Iran Nuclear Deal and the Open Skies Treaty. Most recently\, Russia has paused its participation in the inspection regime of the New START treaty. \nThe colloquium will review consequences of nuclear war and nuclear terrorism and explain the system of arms control treaties that have been put into place to contain this threat. We will then review the challenges different arms control agreements have been facing. \nSpeaker: Dr. Matthias Grosse Perdekamp  \n
