Project on Nuclear Issues
|
|
Perhaps the most critical challenge in sustaining the US nuclear deterrent after the end of the Cold War is maintaining the human infrastructure necessary to support US nuclear capabilities. This is especially true as the human infrastructure necessary to support a nuclear stockpile at the envisioned level of 1700-2200 operational warheads is not appreciably smaller than that necessary to support one at current levels. The challenge is therefore to maintain a smaller, but still vibrant, community of nuclear experts. In 2003, the Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) was created to address this challenge. The goals of the project are twofold. First, PONI aims to build and sustain a networked community of young nuclear experts from the military, the national laboratories, industry, academia, and the policy community. Second, PONI works to contribute to the debate and leadership on nuclear issues by generating new ideas and discussions among both its members and the public-at-large.
