  • The Creation of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste
    Alexis De Greiff The tale of two peripheries The Tale of Two Peripheries: The Creation of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste Publicado con cambios menores en Historical Studies of Physical and Biological Sciences (Special Issue, Alexis De Greiff y David Kaiser, eds.) Vol. 33, Part 1 (2002), pp. 33-60. Alexis De Greiff* Abstract: This paper can be seen in the intersection between history of 20th-century physics, diplomatic history and international relations of science. In this work I analyze the dynamics of the negotiations to create the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, which took place between 1960 and 1963 at the International Atomic Energy Agency. In contrast to previous studies on the creation of international scientific institutions, I pay special attention to the active role played by scientists, politicians and intellectuals from the host-city, Trieste (Italy). Further, I spell out the historical circumstances that allowed this group of local actors to become key figures in the establishment of the Centre. I discuss in detail their interests as well as the political and scientific environment that eventually catalysed the diplomatic efforts of the Trieste elite. The present paper is also concerned with the strategies adopted by the advocates of the idea to confront the hostility of delegations from several industrialized countries, the Soviet Union and India. A frontier is a strip which divides and links, a sour gash like a wound which heals with difficulty, a no-man’s land, a mixed territory, whose inhabitants often feel that they do not belong to any clearly-defined country, or at least they do not belong to any country with that obvious certainty with which one usually identifies with ones native land.

VI -1 Preventing the spread of nuclear weapons to other nations has been a-major policy objective of the United States Government since the end of World War II. This objective has found expression in domestic legislation restricting the export of nuclear technology and materials, and, on the international front, in the establishment of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and in the negotiation of the Treaty on Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). With the increasing pace in the construction of nuclear power plants abroad, considerable attention has been given to the problem of assuring that none of the plutonium produced in these plants is diverted for use in weapons.

  • SKC Annual Report 2016
    AnnualSKC Report 2013 AnnualAnnual Report 2013Page 1 Swedish Centre for Nuclear Technology March 2017 SKC 17-01 Report 2016 SKC, KTH / AlbaNova, Roslagstullsbacken 21, SE-106 91 STOCKHOLM www.swedishnuclear.se, [email protected] +46 (0)8 739 73 25 Summary and highlights of 2016 2016 has resulted in a clearer situation of the Swedish energy market, and the year was mainly influenced by the energy agreement in Sweden in June. The energy commission work held several hearings in 2015 and concluded with a broad national agreement how the energy production will be handled until 2040, including the need for nuclear power as a key ingredient in the transition to a fossile-free energy system. Several activities were performed within SKC during 2016. The Finnish PhD student network on nuclear technology (YTERA) visited KTH in Spring with about 30 participants. SKC was well represented at CHARM, UTNARM and ARMADA and the interest from students seems to remain and we can always guide the students to the best courses, and future employers through our parties. A first SKC Student Day was performed at Chalmers in collaboration with SNEC (Sustainable Nuclear Energy Centre at Chalmers) where about 20 students participated, and several posters and shorter TED-like presentations were given. Prizes to best poster/talk was given at the evening dinner. The annual SKC symposium was held this year outside Gothenburg, at Hindåsgården, 11-12 October. This event had an increased focus on the students, and the plenary session also included 5 short presentations from their research. We had also an invited speaker from VTT in Finland, Eija-Karita Puska, who presented the activities there, but also the national research programme, SAFIR among other things.

  • Tension Between Visions of Science Education the Case of Energy Quality in Swedish Secondary Science Curricula
    Sci & Educ DOI 10.1007/s11191-017-9895-1 ARTICLE Tension Between Visions of Science Education The Case of Energy Quality in Swedish Secondary Science Curricula Jesper Haglund1 & Magnus Hultén2 # The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract The aim of this study is to contribute to an understanding of how curricular change is accomplished in practice, including the positions and conflicts of key stakeholders and participants, and their actions in the process. As a case, we study the treatment of energy in Swedish secondary curricula in the period 1962–2011 and, in particular, how the notion of energy quality was introduced in the curricula in an energy course at upper secondary school in 1983 and in physics at lower secondary school in 1994. In the analysis, we use Roberts’ two competing visions of science education, Vision I in which school science subjects largely mirror their corresponding academic disciplines and Vision II that incorporates societal matters of science. In addition, a newly suggested Vision III represents a critical perspective on science education. Our analysis shows how Vision II and III aspects of science education have gained importance in curricula since the 1980s, but in competition with Vision I considerations. Energy quality played a central role in providing Vision II and III arguments in the curricular debate on energy teaching. Subsequent educational research has found that Swedish teachers and students struggle with how to relate to energy quality in physics teaching, which we explain as partly due to the tension between the competing visions. Keywords Energy quality.

  • Swedish Disarmament Policy During the Cold War
    Swedish Disarmament Policy during the Cold War Conference Report, 26 November 2012, Stockholm, Sweden Editors: Thomas Jonter, Professor of International Relations, and Emma Rosengren, PhD Candidate, Department of Economic History, Stockholm University Foreword Ever since Sweden got engaged in the process leading up to the creation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968, Sweden has been an important player in the international game of disarmament. With committed politicians, skilled diplomats, technical competence and high ambitions, Sweden has become known as an important contributor in international disarmament and arms control efforts. Still, little academic attention has been paid to this field of research. Therefore, the Department of Economic History at Stockholm University invited academics, diplomats and civil society representatives to a conference in 2011, to initiate a broader research project on Sweden’s engagement in international disarmament diplomacy during the cold war. The issue of Swedish disarmament involvement needs to be further explored. Therefore, the Department of Economic History, in cooperation with the Swedish Physicians against Nuclear Weapons, the Swedish Affiliate of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), held a second conference on the 26th of November 2012, this time addressing academics. The Swedish Physicians against Nuclear Weapons funded the conference. The conference served to lay the basis for a joint research project on Swedish disarmament policy and included presentations on three themes: Historical; Theoretical; and Comparative perspectives on disarmament. Dr. Hans Blix, Director- General Emeritus of the IAEA and the Executive Chairman of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) for Iraq between 2000 and 2003, and chair of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission (WMDC) and Robert Kelley, Associate Senior Researcher at SIPRI and former Director of nuclear inspections in Iraq, 1992 and 2001, also addressed the conference with keynote speeches.
