Centennial Moments
Reducing the Nuclear Danger
The Corporation initiated a series of grants to bring together experts concerned with post-Soviet nuclear nonproliferation. The Committee on Reducing the Nuclear Danger was formed first, followed by the Prevention of Proliferation Task Force (funded through grants to the Brookings Institution), whose report influenced development of the 1991 Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program. By 2004 this program had brought about the deactivation of almost 8000 nuclear warheads, missiles, bombers and other deadly weapons and delivery systems.
