With the end of the Cold War, Russia inherited vast stockpiles of plutonium and highly enriched uranium (HEU) from the Soviet Union. The possibility that these weapons-grade nuclear materials could be stolen poses a major threat to global security. Securing and disposing of these materials has become a high priority for Canada and its international partners.
Dr. Paul Evans discusses the emergence of China as a player in multinational institutions which deal with disarmament issues, the implications of the U.S. approach to India’s nuclear program and China's delicate balancing act. Paul Evans is Co-CEO and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.
