About the Silicon Valley Chapter

The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation Silicon Valley Chapter (NAPF-SV) was started in 2009 to provide grassroots support for creating a world at peace, free of the threat of war and free of weapons of mass destruction. Organized by local peace advocates, NAPF-SV will promote the NAPF mission at the local level. This is expected to involve a variety of activities, including:

  • Holding chapter meetings
  • Informing people about important local events
  • Developing, sponsoring and co-sponsoring such events
  • Participating in NAPF campaigns and programs
  • Assisting local colleges and universities in relevant educational activities
  • Promoting support from Silicon Valley business and technology leaders

NAPF-SV will be a focal point for "waging peace" in the Silicon Valley area. Check this page often for local activities, and contact us to become a part of this important new venture.

Nuclear Power Without Nuclear Proliferation

Dr. Scott Sagan of the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University will give a talk at the Los Altos Youth Center. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty gives all countries the right to nuclear power for peaceful purposes. However, with the spread of nuclear power comes the spread of sensitive nuclear technology that can be applied to the development of nuclear weapons. With the ever-growing demands for energy, how can we guarantee nuclear nonproliferation?

When: Wednesday, March 3, 7:00 pm
Who: Dr. Scott Sagan
Title: Nuclear Power Without Nuclear Proliferation
Where: Los Altos Youth Center, 1 N. San Antonio Road, Los Altos, CA 94022
Cost: Free and open to the public

The event is co-sponsored by NAPF-SV, World Affairs Council of Northern California and the Santa Clara County Library.
