This Saturday, Radius will be co-hosting an all-day conference focusing on reducing the risks of a nuclear event. Did you know that....

• There are approximately 17,300 nuclear weapons in the world today 
• The US nuclear arsenal comprises 7,700
• 11 US nuclear weapons have been lost and never recovered
• Russia and the US have approximately 1,800 nuclear weapons on "high alert" that can be launched within 15 minutes of a launch order
• The US Department of Defense will spend at least $16 billion this year on its nuclear deterrent program, including command and control systems
• In the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office's projected cost for the US nuclear forces will be $355 billion--that's over a $1trillion in a 30 year time span!

The conference on Saturday will address these issues and more. We have an incredible program planned for the day.
