Stevens Institute of Technology
Project Title
For a project on nuclear history and policy outreach
Date
Jun. 03, 2021
Duration
59 months
Description
Improving nuclear policies often requires understanding the historical context in which those policies were initially devised. The Stevens Institute of Technology will engage in two related research projects that employ an historical, comparative, and unclassified approach to nuclear questions. The first project will compare launch authority procedures in various nuclear possessor states, an especially relevant question given recent Congressional interest in reforming U.S. launch authority. The second project will investigate a 1960s incident in which large quantities of enriched uranium went missing from a facility in Pennsylvania. The projects will result in publications and/or a podcast aiming at specialists and the broader concerned public.

Project Title
For a project on Reinventing Civil Defense: Returning Nuclear Security to Civil Society
Date
Jun. 01, 2017
Duration
48 months
Description
While any use of nuclear weapons would have dramatic global consequences, American attitudes toward nuclear risk reveal little urgency or understanding. Through this grant, Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens) will seek to identify new ways to communicate about nuclear risk that have greater potential to resonate with target audiences. While building on the prior history of Civil Defense, Stevens will investigate alternative forms of engagement: art, new media, and interactive digital technologies. The ultimate goal is to identify a new approach to effective, non-partisan, level-headed nuclear risk communication for the 21st Century.
