US’s 20-point peace plan:

1. Gaza will be a deradicalised terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours.

2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.

Presentations of Peace Science Collaboration at #SnT2025, part II.

Presentations of Peace Science Collaboration at #SnT2025, part I.

The work I am presenting at #SnT2025 builds on a unique database of high quality #tadioxenon stack emissions from PNNL‘s STAX project. Highlights of new findings are covered by one oral and two poster presentations including a solution to a big question that was open for 20 years.

Peace Science Collaboration is delighted to announce common presentations next week at the #SnT2025 Conference of the @ctbto.bsky.social in Vienna.
You can still register and participate virtually in case you cannot make it to the Hofburg in Vienna, Austria.

It was a great pleasure for me to give a talk at the first online edition of the NewComers4Nuclear (NC4N) Summer School 2025, co-organised with WiN Global and Women in Nuclear Innovation (WiNI) Group of Expertise.

How to produce tritium, the fuel required to start up fusion reactors? Terence Tarnowsky, a physicist at Los Almos National Laboratory (LANL), proposes to us a reactor design driven by a particle accelerator to produce tritium from nuclear waste.

An Iranian delegation travelled to Russia last year to visit institutes producing dual-use technologies, including electron accelerators and klystrons and radioactive isotopes such as tritium.

The annual meeting of the Working Group on Physics and Disarmament took place at the spring meeting of the German Physical Society (DPG) in Bonn. See speakers and selected slides for some highlights regarding nuclear threat risks reduction and nuclear arms control verification.

Prof. Frank von Hippel (Princeton University) gave an invited talk at the German Physical Society Spring Meeting in Bonn on „U.S. Physicists and Nuclear Arms Control During the Next Four Years“. On the question „How much is enough“ he replies: „What about deterrence without nuclear weapons?“

Great overview on what scientists do towards nuclear disarmament at the Symposium on Nuclear Threats and Challenges – Japanese and German Views, part of the DPG Spring Meeting. Thanks to Prof Götz Neuneck for the invitation.

Happy to hear briefing by @ctbto.bsky.social about the progress in preparation of #SnT2025, the CTBT: Science and Technology conference that will take place from 8 to 12 September in the Hofburg Palace, Vienna. The door is open for registration at conferences.ctbto.org/event/30/

The #CTBT: Science and Technology Conference is the flagship event of the @ctbto.bsky.social. If you have stakes in nuclear explosion monitoring or on-site inspection research and innovation, consider participating and submitting an abstract to #SnT2025. The deadline is approaching.

New study: near-surface beryllium-7 could be used to predict the upcoming phase of #ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation), see doi.org/10.1016/j.je..., and to predict onset of #monsoon, see www.nature.com/articles/s41...
#Be-7 is observed by the international monitoring system operated by the #CTBTO.

A key topic at the VCDNP event was on confidence building measures and consultation & clarification becoming more important to be prepared and informally practiced. Satellite imagery analyses might encourage states to be more transparent and clarify the interpretation.

Honoured to have met with and be inspired by Charles Oppenheimer, Founder and Co-Executive Director of the Oppenheimer Project Project, grandson of Robert J. Oppenheimer. Big thanks to Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP) and the Oppenheimer Project for the informative event.

16 papers presented in an online booklet review the tremendous achievements made since the CTBTO started its operation. World-leading authors provide a comprehensive description of the state of the art of their field of science and technologies for CTBT verification.
