Nuclear Security: The evolving terrain of securing nuclear materials and technology against malicious acts
In the 2025-2026 National Security series, experts across UT will discuss their research findings on conventional and nuclear militarization. Understanding the two dimensions of security strategy is crucial as they continue to shape the balance of power, regional stability, and international order.
Howard Hall is a professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering in the Tickle College of Engineering.
