The surplus of plutonium in the world is both an important security
issue, and a fact with implications for nuclear energy and
environmental policy internationally. The two perspectives are
inextricably intertwined in considering options for dealing with
the plutonium surplus. It was for this reason that two research
programmes at the Royal Institute of International Affairs -
respectively on Energy and Environment, and on International
Security - jointly approached NATO with a view to organising a work
shop on the issue. It was most welcome then to learn that the NATO
Science Programe was already supporting plans for a workshop on the
issue, initiated by Richard Garwin, and we were pleased to accept
the resulting invitation to host that workshop. DrGarwin prepared
the initial agenda and established contacts and initial approaches
to many of the participants; we were able to develop the agenda
further and extend participation in some complementary ways. The
result was a most lively and broad-ranging internation al and
inter-disciplinary discussion. As the hosts, the RIIA was also
given lead responsibility for producing the pro ceedings of the
workshop as a publication for NATO. Many of the papers to the work
shop are more technical than usually involved in a workshop at the
Royal Institute. Yet this is an area in which the policy options
are unusually dependent upon a good under standing of the technical
issues. which themselves are often a matter of dispute."
