NUCLEAR COMMONS

Research projects exploring the afterlives of radioactive materials from the accidents at Chernobyl and more recently Fukushima to the isotopic signature found in glacial ice as well as issues related to geological containment and nuclear waste disposal.

In addition to the production of a trilogy “Trace Evidence” exploring key nuclear events and an installation “Delay Decay” focusing on the lack of state response to the accident at Chernobyl, this research also delves into attendant test ban treaties and legal responses to nuclear events, all of which are challenged by the extreme latency of nuclear contaminates. For example strategic litigation advancing global nuclear disarmament by the Marshall Islands in the International Court of Justice.
