This is a terrific compilation of essays by the leading experts in the field. This book offers analyses of the IAEA, nuclear safeguards, and a discussion of the IAEA's authority. Among the contributors were Thomas Cochran and Frank von Hippel. Henry D. Sokolski is the Executive Director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, a Washington-based nonprofit organization founded in 1994 to promote a better understanding of strategic weapons proliferation issues among policy makers, scholars and the media. He was appointed by the U.S. Congress to serve on the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and terrorism, which filed its final report in December 2008. Sokolski served as the Deputy for Nonproliferation Policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Prior to this, he worked in the Secretary's Office of Net Assessment on proliferation issues. Sokolski also served as a consultant on proliferation issues to the intelligence community's National Intelligence Council. After his work in the Pentagon, he received a Congressional appointment to the Deutch Proliferation Commission. He also served as a member of the CIA's Senior Advisory Panel. The following volume consists of research that The Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC) commissioned in 2005 and 2006. This work was critiqued at a set of international conferences held in London, England, at King's College; Washington, DC; and in Paris, France, in cooperation with the Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS) and the French Foreign Ministry. Dr. Wyn Bowen at King's College, Bruno Gruselle at FRS, and Martin Briens of the French Foreign Ministry were critical to the success of these meetings. Funding for the project. Frank N. von Hippel (born 1937) is an American physicist. He is Professor and Co-Director of Program on Science and Global Security at Princeton University and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Primary areas of policy research include: nuclear arms control and nonproliferation, nuclear power and energy issues, improving automobile fuel economy, and checks and balances in policy making for technology. He played a major role in developing cooperative programs to increase the security of Russian nuclear-weapons-usable materials. Von Hippel and his colleagues have worked on fissile material policy issues for the past 30 years, including contributions to: "ending the U.S. program to foster the commercialization of plutonium breeder reactors, convincing President Gorbachev to embrace the idea of a Fissile Material Production Cutoff Treaty, launching the U.S.-Russian cooperative nuclear materials protection, control and accounting program, and broadening efforts to eliminate the use of high-enriched uranium in civilian reactors worldwide". Nuclear physicist Thomas Cochran is a former senior scientist at the Natural Resource Defense Council's (NRDC) Nuclear Program and a former member of the Energy Department's Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee. His expertise includes nuclear weapons, fissile material control, and nuclear waste management. At the NRDC, he initiated the Nuclear Weapons Datebook project in 1980 and the U.S.-Soviet nuclear test ban verification project in 1986 with the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
