DESCRIPTION:Science & Nuclear Weapons Proliferation\n\nFear of nuclear weap
 ons use and the proliferation of nuclear weapons throughout the world is r
 ising fast. Russia is threatening its use. China is building at break-neck
  pace. Ukraine regrets giving up their weapons. These factors and more hav
 e led multiple countries to express strong interest in obtaining nuclear w
 eapons. This talk will discuss the steps and challenges of building usable
  nuclear weapons\, and what the USA and others can do to stop the dangerou
 s pursuit. We will illustrate the progress and responses\, such as missile
  defense\, with a discussion of the successful nuclear weapons program of 
 North Korea. Our primary emphasis will be on the scientific and technologi
 cal breakthroughs needed. Important policy/diplomatic issues will also be 
 highlighted\, which are integral to the story.
