The Next Generation of Arms Control

By Rowan Humphries

This week, a piece Summer 2021 intern Shane Ward began conceptualizing last year during his time with us was published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

In his article, Ward argues that the urgency within the United States to develop a new multibillion-dollar nuclear warhead — the first new nuclear warhead since the Cold War — has more to do with the United Kingdom’s nuclear modernization efforts than U.S. national security imperatives. “The United States should not rush to design and build a symbolic new warhead for the arsenal of an ally, even one as close as Britain, when Congress has so far failed to build a case for it on much more than British interest alone,” says Ward. Read the full article on the Bulletin’s website.

Our interns have a record of outstanding achievement and publication in many respected journals and online news outlets covering our issues, and have gone on to graduate studies at top universities in the United States, work in intelligence, think tanks, Congress, the executive branch, and NGOs throughout the country and the world.

Are you a college student or recent grad looking to gain policy experience through a paid, research-focused internship at a respected nonprofit in the nuclear field? If so, we want to work with you! Center interns work alongside our analysts each day to research and produce valuable materials that could be distributed to policymakers and the general public, gain real-world policy experience, and have tangible publications to showcase to future employers.

For more about what an internship with us is like, read testimonials from former Center interns. Our Fall 2022 internship application will open later this summer — just keep an eye on our website!
