But beyond the technicalities lies a deeper, often overlooked dimension: culture. What assumptions shape the way nuclear inspectors operate? How do values, habits, and institutional norms influence the effectiveness of global non-proliferation efforts? We'll explore these questions (and more) in the episode, so listen in. </p><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p>Guest: Trevor Findlay</p><p>Host: Liz Williams</p><p>Audio producer: Martin Franklin (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://eastcoaststudio.com.au">East Coast Studio</a>)</p><p><strong>Acknowledgements</strong></p><p>Thank you to Dr Russell Leslie for recommending Trevor's book to me. </p><p><strong>The usual end matter</strong></p><p>Nuclear Matters is a production of the Australian National University College of Systems and Society.
