About Nuclear Adventures
Nuclear policy communities have invaluable information vested in their stories. Because stories are social forms of knowledge, we forget how important they are. We need to tell them, listen to them, question them, and apply lessons from them.
Adventures in Nuclear Risk Reduction aims to facilitate intergenerational knowledge transfer by publishing stories on first-person experiences with risk reduction and elevating them for discussion between practitioners and early or mid-career experts.
We invite you to explore these stories, follow our series of storytelling events, and share your own story.
Oral History Project
This project, commencing in 2025 and co-hosted by BASIC and the Stanley Center for Peace and Security, provides professional training on oral history methodology to policy researchers who seek to develop their research skillsets, add to the historical record, elevate the role of storytelling in policy discourse, and expand their professional networks.
Participants in the project are applying their training to prepare, conduct, publish, and archive oral history interviews with risk reduction practitioners. Published interviews will be featured at a capstone event in late 2026.
