The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) has joined with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists so that additional space can be made available in our special teleconference event on Thursday, August 6th at 11am EDT.
The teleconference, featuring arms control experts and Bulletin authors Olli Heinonen, Joan Rohlfing, and Frank von Hippel, and moderated by The Atlantic’s James Fallows, filled the same day registration opened on July 26th.
Our
discussion will focus on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)
between the P5+1 from the perspective of those who have been on the
ground for inspections, parts of negotiating teams, or have served in
government crafting arms control policies. What do these experts think
about the JCPOA, and can it be implemented effectively?
Participation is still limited and is sure to fill quickly, so register now! To make sure you know about future Bulletin events, sign up for our electronic newsletter.
