NSSPI is to help coordinate a U.S.-Russia Workshop with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The title of the workshop will be “The Next Generation of Advances in Safeguards and Verification Technologies” and will take place at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute in Moscow, Russia December 15-16, 2008. This workshop involves commissioned papers by both U.S. and Russian scientists exploring “transformational approaches” that may provide technological means for enabling breakthroughs in multilateral approaches to safeguarding the fuel cycle in problematic emerging nuclear states (e.g., Iran). These papers would provide the intellectual and analytical basis for structured panel discussions over 2 days.
