Nuclear technologies have been the source of interest, innovation, and conflict since their development in the 20th century. Despite the saliency of the nuclear related issues, there has been a lack of informed debate on the subject in the public sphere. The K=1 (Criticality) Project was founded in 2011 in order to tackle these issues in a fresh manner. Today, the K=1 Project team is composed of a multinational group of six Columbia University students, working on engaging the public in a dynamic discussion of nuclear prospects.
