Meeting ID: 862 5450 8257
Wednesday, May 27 2 pm MDT/3 pm CDT
This is the third in the series of virtual meetings for Life Members from across the northern and western areas of Region 5, sponsored by the Pike's Peak Life Members Group. For those of you who have attended one of these virtual presentations, you already know how convenient and straight-forward they are to attend. If you are among those that have not yet experienced one of these presentations, please consider giving one a try.
The speaker for this meeting will be David Bondurant, who is chair of the Pike's Peak Section's Life Member Group. David will be sharing his experience in 1990 as one of the first Americans to visit the forbidden Russia city of Gorky, then home of Russia’s nuclear program. David presented this talk at the April 19, 2019 luncheon meeting of the Pikes Peak Life Members Group. If you missed that meeting, this will be a good opportunity to catch this rerun.

David BONDURANT
Russian Perestroika During the Post Cold War Era
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.
