Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition (RECNA)

The Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition at Nagasaki University (RECNA) was established in 2012 as the world's first university research centre explicitly dedicated to the abolition of nuclear weapons. Based in Nagasaki, RECNA combines scholarly research on nuclear disarmament and security in North East Asia with public education and policy proposals, including its regularly updated data on world nuclear warhead stockpiles.
