The role that #nuclear power could play globally to mitigate the effects of #ClimateChange continues to be debated. In this @BulletinAtomic series, we present perspectives on the future of nuclear power from Russian and American young professionals.

New interview: @SiegfriedHecker is an American nuclear scientist & was director of @LosAlamosNatLab from 1986 to 1997. He discusses his time at Los Alamos, the importance of US-Russia collaboration during the 1990s and 2000s, & his trips to North Korea. https://t.co/lNAgAftRXW

I spoke with @arishapiro on @npratc today about the Hanoi summit and the latest developments at Tongchang-ri: https://t.co/JubHCShVZ2

[Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists @BulletinAtomic]

While it is important to examine what went wrong in Hanoi, a myopic focus on President Trump’s inability to strike a deal overlooks the larger picture: Both sides are still at the beginning of a fundamentally long-term process. https://t.co/tdFzUg8l86

[Siegfried Hecker @SiegfriedHecker]

Regarding #HanoiSummit, I'm disappointed but still optimistic. Disappointed because opportunity to take concrete steps toward denuclearization/ normalization was missed. Optimistic because Trump and Kim did not return to ‘fire and fury’ days of 2017. They left Hanoi on good terms

[Shorenstein APARC @StanfordSAPARC]

So…what happens now?

@draylien, @SiegfriedHecker, and Gi-Wook Shin share their thoughts following the sudden end of the #HanoiSummit:

The stage may be set for progress at the #TrumpKimSummit this week, writes @SiegfriedHecker in @TheWorldPost. #HanoiSummit https://t.co/LaWy4DQmf4

[Jackson Diehl @JacksonDiehl]

U.S. experts conclude that North Korea may have produced material for 6 more nukes in 2018, on top of the 30 it already had. But they say the threat of its program decreased overall. https://t.co/ycSvrJ0aDP

The article builds on our recent update to the denuclearization framework and comprehensive study of #NorthKorea's nuclear history that we published last year:

My latest in @TheWorldPost, with Bob Carlin and @easerbin, assesses the status of #NorthKorea's nuclear arsenal and the state of affairs on the Korean Peninsula heading into the #TrumpKimSummit https://t.co/UsjmIaCxyp

[Jesse Johnson @jljzen]

Ahead of Kim-Trump II, interviews with leading U.S. experts and an analysis of statements by top officials have identified a common refrain: The focus of that meeting has shifted. https://t.co/Weu1Ktb5x0

[Kathleen Miles @mileskathleen]

“Ahead of the Trump-Kim summit next week, the prevailing view in the U.S. is that North Korea expanded its nuclear program in 2018 despite pledging to do the opposite. But our findings paint a different picture.”

Cooperative conversion, where North Korea, South Korea, and the US explore cooperative efforts to demilitarize the North Korea's nuclear/missile programs and convert them to civilian uses, can improve verification and possibly accelerate the timeline: https://t.co/HJHOfLcg4Y
