ANS presents webinar on the NPT

The panelists will discuss the status of nonproliferation, disarmament, and cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

“People sometimes forget that civil nuclear commerce and cooperation is one of the fundamental pillars of the NPT,” said ANS Executive Director/CEO Craig Piercy, webinar moderator. “To that end, it is critically important that we continue to have a dialogue with the arms reduction and nonproliferation communities, as all pillars of the NPT must remain strong for the NPT regime to be effective.”

Other topics to be covered include the following:

• Nuclear weapons today and the status of other arms control agreements.
• What we can do as professionals and citizens.
• The future of the NPT.
