While nuclear security and nonproliferation efforts have been important to the stability and the peaceful use of nuclear energy around the world, the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine may be an inflection point in these efforts. From the occupation and ongoing operating conditions at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant to recent comments by several world leaders regarding the acquisition nuclear weapons, the existing nuclear security and nonproliferation order appears to be at a crossroad. Join our panelists for a discussion on the current state of nuclear security and nonproliferation and where they could go in the future!
