Dear colleagues,

Would you please find details related to the CERN Colloquium on Thursday 
30 June at 16:30 given by Zoom only:

*“Nuclear Arms Control: Help wanted”*

*by Prof. Frank N. von Hippel (Princeton University)*

_Abstract_:

During World War II, Niels Bohr met with both President Roosevelt and 
Prime Minister Churchill to warn them that a nuclear arms race was 
likely if the Soviet Union were not engaged immediately in consultations 
on how nuclear weapons could be controlled after the war.

Physicists played critical roles in informing the negotiators of all 
post-war nuclear arms control agreements, especially those limiting 
nuclear testing and ballistic missile defenses. With the end of the Cold 
War, however, like others, physicists turned to other issues, the 
edifice of nuclear arms control began to crumble, and new nuclear arms 
races began to emerge, including with China.

During the past two years, under the auspices of the American Physical 
Society, a group of US physicists has given over one hundred physics 
colloquia and recruited 850 American physicists to a Physicists 
Coalition for Nuclear Threat Reduction in which physicists educate 
themselves and then help educate Congress about the renewed dangers of 
nuclear war and the possibilities for reducing those dangers.

European and other physicists might be interested in engaging in similar 
efforts in their own countries.

/Frank von Hippel/has spent almost 50 years working on nuclear arms 
control and nonproliferation as an activist and advisor. During the 
1980s, he worked with Mikhail Gorbachev’s physicist advisors on ending 
the Cold War nuclear arms race. During 1993-4, he was responsible for 
nuclear issues in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.


The colloquium will be followed by a 15-30’ discussion with Professor 
Stewart Prager (Chairman) and Charlotte Selton (Manager) of the 
Physicists Coalition for Nuclear Threat Reduction.
