📜 GWU report: national security risks grow with new nuclear energy. A report by The George Washington University on the proliferation of #nuclearenergy predicts a dramatic rise in incidences of nuclear accident, terrorism, sabotage, and coercion as many countries begin or significantly expand their nuclear programmes over the next two decades. The report highlights the need for nuclear awareness and response capabilities to become even more advanced as the threat of #nuclear misuse increases. 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q02wNC9x0

Forty years ago, findings on the global climatic effects of nuclear war first introduced the prospect of “nuclear winter.” In the decades since, the consequences of nuclear use have remained only incidental to considerations of nuclear policy. The paper provides historical context and describes how the scientific revelation of “nuclear winter” was first received by the U.S. defense community in the 1980s. It sheds light on the debate that emerged over how U.S. nuclear policy should account for the implications of the global effects of nuclear use, as many of the questions posed then are even more important to consider in the context of today’s interconnected and economically interdependent world. The complexity of modern global systems creates new vulnerabilities and introduces risks of cascading societal, economic, industrial, and political failures that countries are dangerously unprepared to address.
