SUMMARY:CSWMD Spotlight: Negotiating Next Steps on Arms Control with Putin’s Russia
DESCRIPTION:After the Summit: Negotiating Next Steps on Arms Control with Putin’s Russia\n\n\nBilateral strategic arms control with Russia is a complicated and relevant topic which combines historical\, technical\, legal\, psychological\, and cultural dimensions. The extension of New START provided a five-year respite for bilateral strategic arms control\, and the Biden-Putin summit intimated that discussions could begin on what to do next. There is\, however\, the realization of the difficulties which must be overcome in the next five years to negotiate a follow-on agreement: the place of bilateral strategic arms control in an increasingly multipolar and multidomain strategic landscape\, the challenging history of the last 20 years of the U.S.-Russian bilateral relationship\, Putin’s thinking on arms control and strategic stability\, and a difficult political environment for the ratification of legally binding agreements.   \nJoin us on July 29 for a CSWMD Spotlight Webinar discussion on Negotiating Next Steps on Arms Control with Putin’s Russia with Deputy Director\, Center for Global Security Research (CGSR) Michael Albertson. This talk will attempt to provide some concrete recommendations on how to tackle some of these challenges.  \nIf you have any questions about the event\, please contact the CSWMD Admin staff at WMDCenter@ndu.edu.   \n \nSpeaker Biography  \nMichael Albertson is deputy director of the Center for Global Security Research (CGSR) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Prior to his current position at CGSR\, he served for 16 years in the federal government handling a wide variety of deterrence and arms control-related portfolios for various organizations. From November 2018 to September 2020 he was a senior policy advisor in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) in the Office of Nuclear and Missile Defense Policy\, facilitating extended deterrence dialogues with NATO and Asian allies. Before OSD\, Mr. Albertson worked as a team lead in the Department of State’s Office of Strategic Stability and Deterrence Affairs from 2015 to 2018 on Russian strategic nuclear arms control issues including implementation and compliance of the INF Treaty and New START Treaties. He served from 2013 to 2014 on the National Security Council Staff as a director for Russia covering Russian military-security issues; from 2010 to 2012 as a policy advisor to the senior advisor for Arms Control and Strategic Stability to the Under Secretary of Defense (Policy) participating in the negotiation\, ratification\, and implementation of the New START Treaty; and from 2004 to 2010 as an intelligence analyst and then senior intelligence analyst in the Department of Defense studying Russian military capabilities and doctrine. He holds a B.A. in international relations and government from Claremont McKenna College\, an M.S. in strategic intelligence from the National Defense Intelligence College\, and an M.A. in security policy studies from George Washington University.  \nModerated by Sarah Jacobs Gamberini\, Policy Fellow\, CSWMD.  \nIf you would like to be the first to know about similar events\, join our mailing list!

SUMMARY:Restricted Data: The History of Nuclear Secrecy in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Join Alex Wellerstein\, professor and nuclear historian at Stevens Institute of Technology\, in conversation with Lynn Eden\, senior research scholar emeritus at Stanford University\, to discuss Wellerstein’s recent book\, Restricted Data: The History of Nuclear Secrecy in the United States. If secrecy and science form the bedrock of the Atomic Age\, what does this mean for a path forward? \nAlex Wellerstein\nSpeaker\nAlex Wellerstein is a professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken\, New Jersey. He is a historian of nuclear weapons\, and the author of the recently-published book RESTRICTED DATA: The History of Nuclear Secrecy in the United States (University of Chicago Press\, 2021). He has a PhD in the History of Science from Harvard University\, and a BA in History from the University of California\, Berkeley. Aside from his articles that have been featured in The New Yorker\, The Washington Post\, and Harper’s Magazine\, among other venues\, he is also know known as the creator of the NUKEMAP\, an online nuclear weapons effects simulator that has been used by tens of millions of people worldwide.\nphoto of Lynn Eden \nLynn Eden\nModerator\nLynn Eden is Senior Research Scholar (Emeritus) at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation and a member of the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board. Her scholarly work focuses on the military and society; science\, technology\, and organizations; and US nuclear weapons history and policy. Eden’s Whole World on Fire: Organizations\, Knowledge\, and Nuclear Weapons Devastation won the American Sociological Association’s 2004 Robert K. Merton award for best book in science and technology studies. Her current historical research and writing asks how a specific US military planning organization has enabled very good people to plan what\, if put into action\, could or would result in the deaths of tens of millions of people. In other words\, how do US military officers make plans to fight and prevail in nuclear war? The answer lies not in individual psychology but in common organizational processes such as abstraction\, categorization and fragmented responsibilities.

SUMMARY:Drones and the Future of Chemical\, Biological\, Radiological and Nuclear Threats
DESCRIPTION:The George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government Center for Security Policy Studies will host an web event expert panel discussion on March 26 on “Drones and the Future of Chemical\, Biological\, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Threats“. \nThe panel explores the risks posed by the convergence of chemical\, biological\, radiological\, and nuclear CBRN weapons and drones. \nDrones allow terrorists to collect intelligence prior to an attack\, bypass ground-based physical barriers\, and carry out highly effective chemical and biological weapons attacks. For state actors\, the growth and proliferation of drone swarms offer new\, sophisticated ways to carry out CBRN attacks\, defeat traditional CBRN weapons\, and respond to a successful attack. At the same time\, the United States Department of Defense is working hard to combat these threats and recently issued a new strategy around countering small drones. \nThe underlying question spanning the panel is: how well prepared is the United States and the global community to tackle the challenges drones pose for CBRN warfare? And what more can be done? \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nNicole Thomas \nDivision Chief for Strategy and Policy @Joint Counter-UAS Office\, Department of Defense \nNicole Thomas is a civilian with the U.S. Army and the Division Chief for Strategy and Policy in the Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office.

SUMMARY:Measuring Resiliency – Tools for Analyzing Resilient Transportation Systems
DESCRIPTION:The Transportation Research Board will host a webinar on March 18\, 2021 that will provide ways to accurately assess the value of resilience in future infrastructure investments. \nTo achieve this\, all stakeholders need to be able to understand and incorporate the cost and benefits of resilience into the decision-making process\, including project prioritization\, weighing trade-offs\, and making informed decisions on future infrastructure investments. Presenters will discuss tools and guidance for performing such an analysis. They will identify what is next on the horizon for resilience analysis and measures. \nThis webinar is sponsored by the TRB Standing Committees on Critical Transportation Infrastructure Protection\, Extreme Weather and Climate Change Adaptation\, and Community Resources and Impacts. This webinar also references TR Circular E-C265: Second International Conference on Resilience to Natural Hazards and Extreme Weather Events and NCHRP Research Report 938: Incorporating the Costs and Benefits of Adaptation Measures in Preparation for Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change—Guidebook. \nWebinar agenda and presenters \n\nFederal guidance on resilience measures: Kristin Lewis\, Scott Smith\, and Jonathan Badgley\, Volpe Center\, USDOT\nState example of an approach to resilience: Steve Olmstead\, Arizona Department of Transportation\nTRB’s guidance on the topic as published in NCHRP Report 938: Laurel McGinley\, Dewberry\nQuestion and answer session: Steve Olmsted\, Arizona Department of Transportation\n\nThe first 90 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions. \nPlease visit the Measuring Resiliency – Tools for Analyzing Resilient Transportation Systems webpage for more information.

SUMMARY:Seismic Design Criteria for Structures\, Systems\, and Components in Nuclear Facilities
DESCRIPTION:A virtual discussion on Seismic Design Criteria for Structures\, Systems\, and Components in Nuclear Facilities will be held March 18\, 2021. \nJoin SEI Host Jennifer Goupil for a big-picture discussion of the state of seismic design in nuclear facilities with the chair and vice chair the ASCE/SEI Nuclear Standards Committee Andrew Whittaker\, George Abatt\, who led the effort to revise ASCE 43 and committee member Brian McDonald. \nThe 2019 edition of ASCE/SEI 43 Seismic Design Criteria for Structures\, Systems\, and Components in Nuclear Facilities ensures that nuclear facilities are properly designed to withstand the effects of earthquake ground shaking while retaining the desired functionally\, expressed as target performance goals. Because nuclear facilities process\, store\, or handle radioactive materials in a form and quantity that pose potential hazard to the workers\, the public\, or the environment\, it is desirable that nuclear facilities have a lower probably of structural damage caused by earthquake shaking than commercial buildings. While this standard is intended for use in design of new facilities\, it can also be used for existing facilities. \nThe expert panel will begin the session with an overview discussion on the state of the industry\, the role the standard plays in the profession\, and why it was updated. Then\, Andrew and George will present the technical changes in ASCE/SEI 43-19\, provide relevant design examples\, and wrap up the session with a live Q&A from the audience. \nResources: \n\nASCE/SEI 43-19 Publication\nSeismic Analysis of Safety-Related Nuclear Structures (4-16)\nStructural Design of Air and Gas Ducts for Power Stations and Industrial Boiler Applications: Second Edition\n\n  \n
