Toyota Auditorium, Baker School
Nuclear Threat Initiative's (NTI) Scott Roecker will discuss "Nuclear Facilities in Times of Crisis." Novel and increasingly intense global crises, like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, are stressing nuclear facilities in new ways. This presentation will highlight existing strategies for reducing the risk of catastrophe at nuclear facilities during armed conflict and natural disasters and will recommend additional steps that governments and international institutions should take to ensure that facilities are prepared to withstand future crises.
Roecker is the vice president for NTI's Nuclear Materials Security Program. He joined NTI as senior director on NTI’s Materials Risk Management team in February 2021. He focuses on work to reduce the risks associated with nuclear and radiological materials through a number of NTI projects, including the Global Dialogue on Nuclear Security Priorities and the NTI Nuclear Security Index, as well as through targeted cooperation with priority countries. He also supports NTI’s nuclear disarmament verification work and advises leadership on issues related to Iran.
The Nuclear Threat Initiative is a nonprofit, nonpartisan global security organization focused on reducing nuclear, biological, and emerging technology threats imperiling humanity.
If you can't join us in person, you may view the presentation remotely.
