David BONDURANT of Vertical Memory

During a brief period of time starting in 1991, American and Russian scientists worked cooperatively to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.  The Global Initiative for Proliferation Protection (GIPP) and US Industry Coalition (USIC) developed programs to engage scientists from Russia and the newly Independent States of the Soviet Union in commercial developments.  Before the fall of the Soviet Union, a small team of American scientists engaged in some of the first joint development discussions of the era of Perestroika.  I was part of a team of the first American’s to visit the forbidden Russia city of Gorky, home of Russia’s nuclear program in November 1990.  I will briefly describe the visit to their advanced semiconductor & PC manufacturing facility and show the outcome of these early efforts.
