Science Fellows Meetings occur about once each month in place of one of the Science, Technology and Security (STS) seminars. These are small, informal meetings between the CISAC Science Fellows and interested members of the CISAC community. Their purpose is to discuss research in progress or to have discussions on topics of special interest. Please RSVP to Justin Liszanckie (justliz@stanford.edu) if you wish to attend this Science Fellows Meeting.

Topics:

"Ballistic Missile Defense"

Dean Wilkening will cover work in progress concerning regional assessments of the strategic impact of ballistic missile defenses. The nature of the problem and analytic tools to assess the impact will be discussed, along with preliminary results for the impact of American and Japanese missile defense deployments in North East Asia.

"Research Reactors and Non-Proliferation"

Bekhzod Yuldashev will present a short review of the utilization of research reactors and present status of research reactor programs. The related non-proliferation aspects of existing and future research will also be discussed.
