How to Talk Nuclear Responsibilities in a Third Nuclear Age
<p>In this final episode of the series, attention returns to how nuclear responsibilities are talked about, with particular emphasis on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and its review cycle. In the episode, Dr Megan Dee and Dr David Chambers (Head of the Arms Control and Disarmament Research Unit, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, United Kingdom) discuss the different framings and approaches that can be used – and avoided – by States when talking nuclear responsibilities in an NPT framework, as well as the merits of using a nuclear responsibilities approach to strengthen dialogue and contribute to transparency, confidence-building, and risk reduction efforts.</p>

Nuclear Responsibilities and Nuclear Energy
<p>From medicine to food and power, nuclear technologies produce multiple benefits for individuals in their day-to-day lives and are playing an increasingly crucial role in delivering the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), States Parties have a sovereign right to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. That right nevertheless comes with responsibilities, particularly for nuclear supplier states, but also for civic nuclear programmes and their respective regulators. In this episode, Dr Megan Dee and Ingrid Kirsten (Senior Fellow, Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation) explore the responsibilities associated with the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, reflecting on how responsibilities are attributed – and upheld - to ensure that nuclear materials and technologies not only remain safe and secure but also accessible to those most in need.</p>

Nuclear Responsibilities and Non-Proliferation
<p>The international nuclear non-proliferation regime is coming under increasing strain in this new nuclear age. Vertical proliferation concerns are rife as the nuclear possessor states modernise their nuclear arsenals while signalling the possibility of a return to nuclear testing. Horizonal nuclear proliferation concerns now centre not only on "rogue states" and non-state actors, but also the domestic debates of long-established non-nuclear weapon states signalling potential interest in developing nuclear arsenals. In this episode, Dr Megan Dee and Dr Toby Dalton explore nuclear responsibilities as they relate to nuclear non-proliferation, along with the challenges this third nuclear age presents for the non-proliferation regime at large.</p>
