International Network of Engineers and Scientists Against Proliferation

Martin Kalinowski Moves to Vienna

Dr. Martin B. Kalinowski has left IANUS and INESAP effective September 30. He accepted an offer for a three years contract, extendible up to 7 years, from the Provisional Technical Secretariat of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) in Vienna. He now has the position of Fusion and Review Officer in the International Data Center Division. His responsibility is final review and integration of all products from the seismic, radionuclide, hydro-acoustic and infrasound measurements Currently the procedures are developed , implemented and tested to be ready once the CTBO comes into full operation.

He is happy to have the opportunity to continue his work for nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. He will gain a quite different experience from working in an international organisation where he can apply his knowledge of physics and international relations to verify compliance with a treaty. He looks forward to the challenging work of building up a new institution and establishing new procedures. Especially in the first years, research work will dominate and it can be expected that routine work will increase with time.

Martin Kalinowski has worked with INESAP since its foundation in 1993. He was Scientific Coordinator for the study "Beyond the NPT" which was published in April 1995 in New York. Since 1996 he is in the Coordinating Committeee. Since then he was the main driving force for many of the activities of INESAP. He managed together with his colleagues at IANUS INESAP conferences and workshops at Mühlheim, Geneva, New York, Gothenborg and Shanghai. His special interests were international tritium control, a comprehensive cut-off convention, technical aspects of the Model Nuclear Weapons Convention, remote detection of clandestine plutonium production, and a really comprehensive test ban treaty. One of his last studies was the German plutonium balance of the past 30 years in Germany (see summarizing paper in this issue of the IIB as well as forthcoming INESAP Technical Report No. 2).

Martin Kalinowski will remain a member of the INESAP Coordinating Committee for the time being and keeps up a working relationship as Associate with IANUS.
