This summer course is designed to give graduate students a sound understanding of the foundations of the nuclear nonproliferation regime and U.S. programs and policies developed to meet the emerging nuclear proliferation threats to our security.

The course will present students with critical assessments of the current nonproliferation arrangements. With exercises and demonstrations the course will introduce students to the technologies of international nuclear safeguards and detection of nuclear and other radioactive materials. Above all, the course aims to give participants the knowledge, analytic tools and motivation to contribute to improvement of the nonproliferation regime.
