The United States has promoted nuclear energy for decades while also seeking to mitigate its inherent risks.  In addition to cost, safety, waste and security issues are concerns that the spread of dual-use technologies like uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing pose risks of nuclear weapons proliferation. 

Please join Proliferation Prevention Program Director Sharon Squassoni, Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Countryman, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Energy Edward McGinnis and Ambassador Robert Gallucci as they discuss the benefits and risks of nuclear energy and the challenges and successes in U.S. diplomatic and technical approaches to mitigating those risks.
