Tianjin Binhai New Area and the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area commissioned a technology-foresight study to help them plan for economic growth. Seven applications stand out; the authors describe drivers, barriers, and plans for each.

The United States, Russia, and other countries should ensure that weapon-usable material is not subject to national diversion. The quickest way to achieve this goal is to transport excess weapon-usable material to a secure foreign storage site.

This issue paper discusses what decisions India and Pakistan must make in order to attempt to fulfill these requirements and describes the risks involved in their failure to attain them.

The claim that plutonium reprocessing and recycling eases waste management is based on incomplete assessments and inappropriate metrics. The United States should use a systems approach to compare different waste management benefits and options.

This documented briefing examines how adversaries might use chemical and biological weapons (CBWs) to paralyze U.S. Air Force operations, how the Air Force might continue operations despite a contaminated environment, and what additional measures might enable the Air Force to sustain tactical aircraft sortie generation and airlift cargo delivery operations in a contaminated environment.
