The National Academies is having a release party (ok, release event) for the English-Chinese, Chinese-English Nuclear Security Glossary.
I saw Ben Rusek and Wu Jun give a joint talk on the subject in Qingdao.
Be there or B 2 Sorry, math joke.
The Committee on International Security and Arms Control (CISAC) of the U.S. National Academies, with its partner the Chinese Scientists Group on Arms Control (CSGAC) of the Chinese People’s Association for Peace and Disarmament, recently completed an English-Chinese Chinese – English Glossary of Nuclear Security Terms. This glossary of approximately 1000 terms is built on 20 years of CISAC CSGAC Track II discussions on nuclear arms control, nuclear nonproliferation, nuclear energy, and regional security issues and is intended to facilitate progress in diplomatic, academic, scientific, or other activities where unambiguous understanding is essential.
