Sommario/riassunto |

“Brings out the complexity of securing facilities, managing supply chains, disposing of waste, and the threat from cyber attacks. Will serve as a guideline to security practitioners.” – Shiv Sahai, former Additional Secretary, Indian National Security Council Secretariat “[A] valuable addition to the literature on nuclear safety and security. The authors clearly demonstrate the need to evolve our thinking to keep up with technology and culture. We learn more from the sharing of Indian and U.S. perspectives than either country’s viewpoints can provide alone.” – Andrea G. Hall, former Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for WMD and Counterproliferation, National Security Council “Standout essays from scholars and practitioners in the field of nuclear safety and security. The volume will serve as an excellent introduction to the subject’s many interlocking dimensions.” – Richard Johnson, DASD (OSD-P/NCWMD) “This study is the most relevant work today to |

assess the risk of laxity in nuclear security. Extremely useful to learn from each other and develop trust.” – VG Khandare, Principal Adviser to the Ministry of Defence, India This Open Access volume assembles experts from the United States and India to examine six issues essential to the safety and security of nuclear facilities, technologies, and materials: insider threats, organizational culture, emergency response, physical protection, control of radioactive sources, and cyber security. Each chapter includes papers by an Indian expert and by an American counterpart. This unique structure contrasts the countries’ diverse perspectives on nuclear security, situates technical problems within larger socio-political contexts, and identifies cooperative opportunities for the U.S. and India. S. Paul Kapur is Professor in the National Security Affairs Department at the Naval Postgraduate School and a visiting fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. Rajeswari Pillai Rajagopalan is Director of the Centre for Security, Strategy and Technology (CSST) at the Observer Research Foundation, New Delhi. Diana Wueger is Faculty Associate for Research in the National Security Affairs Department at the Naval Postgraduate School and a PhD Candidate at the University of Chicago. |
