Five years ago, Australia, the UK, and US made a surprise announcement: they’d work together to develop conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines for Australia as part of their new AUKUS partnership. Today, a naval nuclear sea change is underway in the Asia-Pacific (1/3)

Nuclear power has enormous potential for maritime industry. But in order to fully tap that potential, nuclear and maritime communities must work productively together. @jamiekwong.bsky.social and @tobydalton.bsky.social explain: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

President Trump’s directive to test nuclear weapons “on an equal basis” caused widespread alarm. But is the U.S. actually about to start testing nuclear weapons again? The reality of the situation is a bit murkier than it may seem. @jamiekwong.bsky.social explains.

Vacancies in forecast offices elevate risks to the safety of local communities (which should be the top priority)… But from a nuclear perspective they also reveal major blind spots in regions hosting U.S. ICBM silo fields that are prone to flooding, making this a national security concern too.

Iran has little room to negotiate in upcoming nuclear talks. It may see NPT withdrawal as its strongest card, writes @carnegienpp.bsky.social ’s @jamiekwong.bsky.social – which would be extremely dangerous. How can the international community keep Iran in the NPT? Jamie’s latest:
