Drone strikes on #Zaporizhzhia #nuclear plant have been widely reported, but these are a distraction from Russia's announced plans to restart the reactor(s), putting them into a much less stable state in the midst of ongoing fighting: theconversation.com/ukraine-war-pu…

Whatever you do, you can do nuclear.

From construction and engineering, to communications and manufacturing – nuclear could have the job for you.

Do you have the transferable skills to join this thriving sector?

Ross Peel & myself from Centre for Science & Security Studies develop a framework along two axes for a range of actions that can constrain nuclear weapons complexes and therefore impact the material prospects of reversibility. Link here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

New publication: 'Nuclear Weapons Production Complexes in a Disarmed World', discussing why it's not enough to disarm #nuclearweapons , we have to also dismantle the facilities that produce them, and setting out a framework for thinking about how to do so.

Newly out: 'Nuclear Security for Next-Generation Reactors', my chapter in the Oxford Academic Handbook of Nuclear Security. Sukesh Aghara and I explore the unique nuclear security challenges and opportunities for small modular and advanced nuclear reactors.

Only sad that I didn't get to write it myself: 'Dangerous Targets: Civilian Nuclear Infrastructure and the War in Ukraine'.
Well done to RUSI's Darya Dolzikova and Jack Watling for this thoughtful report

Looking forward to conversing with Tristan Anderson Volpe online at 15:30 BST on Monday about #nuclear #proliferation after the #UkraineRussianWar . Read more and register to join us here: kcl.ac.uk/events/nuclear…

Loving this #nuclearstorytelling series! Stanley Center for Peace and Security doing a great job of bringing out the amazing stories lived by both nuclear risk reduction leaders and developing voices. Daniel Salisbury and others telling their first person accounts of their work.

Great to see the EU supporting small modular reactor technology development! Major funding available for work on #nuclearsafety , though sad to see #nuclearsecurity and #nuclearsafeguards getting left out again. My meme endures...⬇️

On April 24th we are excited to host Tristan Anderson Volpe at Centre for Science & Security Studies for a talk on his new book 'Leveraging Latency', and the global nuclear order after Russia's invasion of Ukraine - You can register here: kcl.ac.uk/events/nuclear… War Studies

It’s finally publication day- 10 years, 7 archives, 10s of thousands of pages of documents - my history of British nuclear policy in the 70s and 80s- “Secrecy, Public Relations and the British Nuclear Debate: how the UK government learned to talk about the bomb, 1970-1983”

Heading off to Wilton Park today to take part in discussions about how nuclear disarmament can be made sustainable. If we want to eliminate #nuclearweapons permanently, we have to imagine what a world without them would look like before we can lay down the road to get there.

Looking forward to speaking at this event on how conditions of conflict and unrest challenge our basic assumptions about security. In times of crisis, how do you decide what to prioritise for protection?

A vital event. For too long have issues of peace and disarmament been exclusionary of diverse perspectives and voices. These issues affect us all, and all perspectives all valuable. Great work VCDNP !

📢 The VCDNP is proud to convene an extraordinary panel on LGBT+ identity in the nuclear weapons space, featuring members and allies of the queer community.🏳️‍🌈
🕔 6 December, 15:00-16:15 CET

And for the record, here's the statement we put out Wednesday morning: ucsusa.org/about/news/rus…

My statement on the situation and recent developments at nuclear power plants in #Ukraine , part 1 of 2.

Faced with a choice between attending two interesting webinars at the same time, a colleague said, 'Unfortunately, we are spoiled for choice when it comes to #nuclear threats and risks.' Sadly very true right now.
#UkraineRussiaWar️ , #NothKorea , #Iran , etcetera ad nauseum.

Amazing to see my sister live on ITV news this week. Great work Lauren Peel !
