The Global Initiative for Proliferation Protection (GI PP) and US Industry Coalition (USIC) developed programs to engage scientis ts from Russia and the newly Independent States of the Soviet Union in com mercial developments. Before the fall of the Soviet Union\, a small team o f American scientists engaged in some of the first joint development discu ssions of the era of Perestroika. David was part of a team of the first Am erican’s to visit the forbidden Russia city of Gorky\, home of Russia’ s nuclear program in November 1990. He will briefly describe the visit to their advanced semiconductor & PC manufacturing facility and show the outc ome of these early efforts.\n\nCo-sponsored by: dbondurant@mac.com\n\nSpea ker(s): David Bondurant\, \n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86254508257 \, Me eting ID: 862 5450 8257\, Denver\, Colorado\, United States LOCATION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86254508257 \, Meeting ID: 862 5450 825 7\, Denver\, Colorado\, United States ORGANIZER:owen.herman@gmail.com SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:Denver/Pikes Peak IEEE Life Member Affinity Group Virtual Meeting URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/231537 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>This is the third in the series of virtual meetings for Life Members from across the northern and western areas of R egion 5\, sponsored by the Pike's Peak Life Members Group.&nbsp\;For those of you who have attended one of these virtual presentations\, you already know how convenient and straight-forward they are to attend.&nbsp\; If yo u are among those that have not yet experienced one of these presentations \, please consider giving one a try.</p>\n<p>The speaker for this meeting will be David Bondurant\, who is chair of the Pike's Peak Section's Life M ember Group.
