Nuclear Challenges
The Council on Strategic Risks (CSR) anticipates, analyzes, and addresses core systemic risks to security in the 21st century, and acts to address those threats in a manner that is commensurate to their scale, consequence, and probability. CSR fosters multidisciplinary, nonpartisan dialogue to explore the future of nuclear energy, and elevates policy questions on this topic, in U.S. policy discourse. The award supports work to reinvigorate U.S. leadership on security, safety, and nonproliferation related to nuclear energy as it continues to be viewed by many countries as a major component of strategies for addressing climate change.
