Report Release: Project Atom

A Competitive Strategies Approach to Defining U.S. Nuclear Strategy and Posture for 2025-2050
Monday, June 22, 2015 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Center for Strategic and International Studies2nd Floor Conference Center1616 Rhode Island Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20036

featuring a panel discussion with

Elbridge Colby
Robert M. Gates Senior Fellow, Center for a New American Security

Dr. Keith Payne
CEO and President, National Institute for Public Policy

Dr. Barry Blechman
Co-Founder, The Stimson Center

moderated by

Dr. Clark Murdock
Senior Adviser, CSIS

Project Atom took a competitive strategies approach to its zero-based, "blue sky" review of U.S. nuclear strategy and force posture. Three independent think tank teams - the Stimson Center, the Center for a New American Security, and the National Institute for Public Policy - investigated U.S. nuclear strategy for the new era (2025-2050) and what U.S. nuclear posture is needed to support that strategy. Their analysis, unconstrained by current strategy and policy and conducted within a common framework of assumptions, resulted in competing recommended strategies and postures for 2025-2050.  The panel will discuss their analysis and recommended nuclear strategies and postures. Hard copies of the report will be available in limited number.
