关于我们
The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) works to provide science-based analysis of and solutions to protect against catastrophic threats to national and international security. Specifically, FAS works to reduce the spread and number of nuclear weapons, prevent nuclear and radiological terrorism, promote high standards for nuclear energy’s safety and security, illuminate government secrecy practices, as well as track and eliminate the global illicit trade of conventional, nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. FAS was founded in 1945 by many of the Manhattan Project scientists who wanted to prevent nuclear war and is one of the longest serving organizations in the world dedicated to reducing nuclear threats and informing the public debate by providing technically-based research and analysis on these issues.

I am extremely pleased to share this new?Federation of American Scientists?report published today by?Hans Kristensen?and me on the return of the USAF nuclear mission to RAF Lakenheath. In this report, we cover the nuclear history of RAF Lakenheath until the removal of US nuclear weapons in 2008. We then outline all of the observations and evidence (budgets, documents, imagery, oh my!) that show the USAF is re-establishing its nuclear mission on UK soil. This report is based on YEARS of observations and discoveries of nuclear weapons movements in Europe by Hans Kristensen and Matt Korda - I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn from them and showcase and build upon their work. + An extra thank you to Kathryn Kohn for the fantastic report design! https://lnkd.in/eGFwe5pA

Is the United States Air Force re-establishing its nuclear mission on UK soil for the first time in nearly two decades? Our latest report provides an account of the nuclear history of RAF Lakenheath and the role it played in the US nuclear mission until nuclear weapons were?withdrawn in 2008. The report then explains the mounting evidence from three years of collection of documentation and observations that show the United States Air Force is re-establishing its nuclear mission on UK soil for the first time in nearly two decades. ?

Advisory Committee recommendations are integral to strengthening public trust and reinforcing the credibility of federal agencies. Nonetheless,?public trust in government has been waning?and efforts should be made to increase public trust. Going into a second Trump administration, it is imperative that Advisory Committees have the opportunity to assist federal agencies with the evidence-based advice needed to make critical decisions that affect the American public. Below, see our suggested reforms to improve the overall operations of Advisory Committees while still promoting necessary?evidence-based advice. ?
