The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty could eventually result in a significant reduction - or even complete elimination - of nuclear weapons. Technologies from the accelerator field, such as transmutation of weapon-grade uranium and plutonium, alternative techniques for nuclear power generation, detection of fissile material and verification, will be very important for this effort. The present trend in modern diplomacy is to form unconventional alliances to make progress on challenging issues. Could an alliance between diplomats and scientists help to achieve the ultimate goal of reducing and eventually eliminating nuclear weapons?
