We are glad to have you here. We invite you to explore the   special sections of our enhanced web site for information on   stopping the spread and reversing the growth of nuclear arms.         Your comments on our new look         & our content are appreciated.

in 1981, the Nuclear Control Institute (NCI) is an independent research and advocacy center specializing in problems of nuclear proliferation. Non-partisan and non-profit, we monitor nuclear activities worldwide and pursue strategies to halt the spread and reverse the growth of nuclear arms.

n particular, we focus on the urgency of eliminating atom-bomb materials (plutonium and highly enriched uranium) from civilian nuclear power and research programs.

hope you find the information on our Web site useful, and we welcome your participation and support.	to quote or reprint material from this Web site is granted in advance so long as you make proper acknowledgement to the Nuclear Control Institute and you notify us as to the form and use made of the material.

       
   

Nuclear Terrorism Threat Could terrorists build a bomb with stolen plutonium or highly enriched uranium? Are reactors now adequately protected against sabotage? Here's what the experts say.

NCI conference To mark its 20th anniversary year, NCI convened a one-day conference to explore the need for nuclear power and its linkage with the proliferation of nuclear weapons. .... Visit our conference site for online video interviews, videotapes, speeches, papers, programe & more!

   

Plutonium & Reprocessing

 

Getting Rid of Military Plutonium Using plutonium from bombs as fuel for nuclear power reactors invites theft by terrorists and outlaw states. How to stop this latest attempt at plutonium commerce: Directly dispose of plutonium by burying it with nuclear waste deep in the earth.

 

IRAQ: STILL A NUCLEAR THREAT All of Iraq's nuclear scientists are still in place. None of the nuclear-bomb components they built before the Gulf War have been found. If Iraq could steal or buy plutonium or bomb-grade uranium, Saddam could have the Bomb in short order.

   

India-Pakistan Nuclear Central India conducted five nuclear tests. Pakistan followed with five tests of its own. Who's next? Check this collection of the best on the Web on this grave nuclear crisis.

 

STOP TRADE IN BOMB GRADE URANIUM. With bomb-grade, high-enriched uranium (HEU), a student could make a bomb powerful enough to destroy a city. Low-enriched uranium (LEU) can't be made into bombs. Which fuel do you want in university reactors?

 

Radioactive Sea Shipments Japan, Britain & France are beginning to ship plutonium wastes by sea in containers that can't survive a sinking. What can be done to stop them?

 

Plutonium Air Shipments By the speck, plutonium can kill. By the ton, it will be flown in casks that can't survive a plane crash. Why?

   

China was the "single most important supplier of equipment and technology for weapons of mass destruction" and a major nuclear supplier to Iran and Pakistan in the second half of 1996, the CIA recently concluded. Yet, President Clinton is preparing to make the non-proliferation certifications required to clear the way for U.S. sales of nuclear reactors and fuel to China. Does nuclear trade with China make sense at this time?

 

Is America's fear of nuclear power irrational?
