A Physicist in Arms Control Wanderings in the Land of Oz Dr. James Morgan

For the last twelve years the US and the Russian Federation have engaged in a number of activities designed to increase the control over, or totally eliminate, Special Nuclear Materials. The activities are an interesting combination of science and national policy. As a result, scientists have found themselves wandering in the twilight region between technology and policy. Dr. Morgan will discuss three of these activities in which he participated: Mutual Reciprocal Inspections, Mayak Storage Facility Transparency and the Plutonium Disposition Agreement.

Bio: Dr. James Morgan received his PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of Minnesota in 1968. After which he was a research physicist at Cal Tech and then Ohio State before joining the LLNL Underground Test Program in 1977. In 1994 he started research in arms control.
