Nuclear Weapon Use Risk Reduction
The APLN joint project "Reducing the Risk of Nuclear Weapon Use in Northeast Asia" (NU-NEA) works to define use cases for nuclear weapons in a limited nuclear war on, or involving, the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia more broadly. The aim is to assist policymakers in identifying ways to avoid a nuclear conflict as well as to de-escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia by developing credible nuclear use cases and proposing policy solutions.
