From 1993 to 1994, she was Director for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia Affairs on the National Security Council in the White House. Linton F. Brooks served until January 2007 as Administrator of DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), where he was responsible for the U.S. nuclear weapons program and for DOE’s international nuclear non-proliferation programs. Ambassador Brooks has over four decades of experience in national security, including service as Assistant Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, Chief U.S. Negotiator for the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, Director of Arms Control on the National Security Council staff and a number of Navy and Defense Department assignments as a 30 year career naval officer. Mona Dreicer has 30 years of experience in various nuclear related fields: international security, non-proliferation, and arms control (e.g. CTBT/IMS, TTBT, FMCT, AMEC, NPT/IAEA); radiation dose and dose reconstruction (e.g. U.S. I-131 doses from NTS weapons tests, the aftermath of Chernobyl, SRS tritium releases); health and environmental risk assessment for the nuclear fuel cycle in Europe; and environmental/nuclear safety. Dreicer has worked for the USG, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), three different national laboratories, (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Livermore National Laboratory [LLNL] and the Environmental Measurements Laboratory), a French non-profit research organization, and as a private consultant. As Director of the Office of Nuclear Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, her office was responsible for assessing compliance of nuclear arms control treaties and worked to ensure effective verification of non-proliferation agreements and U.S.-Russia nuclear materials programs.

The U.S. National Academies (NAS) and the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), building on a foundation of years of interacademy cooperation, conducted a joint project to identify U.S. and Russian views on what the international nuclear security environment will be in 2015, what challenges may arise from that environment, and what options the U.S. and Russia have in partnering to address those challenges.

The project's discussions were developed and expanded upon during a two-day public workshop held at the International Atomic Energy Agency in November 2007. A key aspect of that partnership may be cooperation in third countries where both the U.S. and Russia can draw on their experiences over the last decade of non-proliferation cooperation. More broadly, the following issues analyzed over the course of this RAS-NAS project included: safety and security culture, materials protection, control and accounting (MPC&A) best practices, sustainability, nuclear forensics, public-private partnerships, and the expansion of nuclear energy.
