Dr. Hynes is a senior-level nuclear weapons physicist who worked for 15
years at Los Alamos National Laboratory where he conducted a wide
variety of basic and applied research projects in the Nuclear Weapons
Testing program. He is currently a policy analyst on the dynamics of
global nuclear terrorism and its implications for homeland security at
the RAND Corporation. Dr. Hynes will address: how the United States can
dissuade adversaries from pursuing nuclear weapons; how the United
States national security community can discover and respond to those
who seek nuclear weapons; what special technical capabilities are
needed for the counternuclear mission and how the United sates should
focus its attention and resources to counter this threat.
