Instead it fractured and morphed into new 21st century forms which have kept the nuclear clock set close to midnight. From disposing of old nuclear weapons to building new uranium enrichment facilities, from the protocols of “mutually assured destruction to the image of the “suitcase bomb,” Matthew Bunn examines the various sources of nuclear threat today and explores means of containing and controlling them. Which nation states pose the greatest nuclear danger? What role do non-state actors play in the current landscape of nuclear threat? How are domestic and international governing bodies addressing these new nuclear threats? What role can concerned citizens play in preventing nuclear catastrophe today?<br><br>Matthew Bunn is Co-Principal Investigator for the Project on Managing the Atom at the Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. His interests include nuclear theft and terrorism; nuclear proliferation and measures to control it; and the future of nuclear energy and its fuel cycle. His recent research has been focused on Iran’s nuclear capacity.<br><br>Cambridge Forum is recorded and edited for public radio broadcast.
