the dangers posed by Russia's seizure of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which he argues has not only "raised the specter of a military-induced Fukushima", but also requires an active reassessment by the Pentagon of the implications of waging war where nuclear plants operate; taking on "a more active role in reviewing US nuclear license applications"; and strengthening guidance on targeting nuclear plants in war. He has also suggested that Russia may be threatening to use nuclear weapons because the war with Ukraine has exposed Russia's military weaknesses and lack of high-tech weaponry. China nuclear buildup In 2021, NPEC published an edited volume, China's Civil Nuclear Sector: Plowshares to Swords? The NPEC report found that China had the capability to produce between 990 and 1,550 warheads by 2030, using the weapons-grade plutonium that could be produced using civilian reactors that were under construction. Contributors to the report included two consecutive United States assistant secretaries of state; Hui Zhang of Harvard University's Project on Managing the Atom; and many others. The report was cited and discussed widely in publications such as Reuters, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and Popular Mechanics. In January 2022, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists published "A China–US war in space: The after-action report" by Henry Sokolski, which analyzed a three-move space war game carried out by NPEC, with support from current and former officials of the Departments of State and Defense, as well as members of the intelligence community and space industry. Other issues Sokolski has testified before Congress on numerous occasions on various nuclear issues, including civilian nuclear cooperation agreements (sometimes known as 123 agreements). In a March 21, 2018 hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Sokolski stated, "Failure to require Riyadh to forswear enriching or reprocessing in the text of a US-Saudi nuclear agreement (either by excluding this condition or proposing to put a sunset on it) risks pouring kerosene on the embers of nuclear proliferation already present in the Middle East." Principals Executive Director Henry D. Sokolski has run the NPEC since 1994. A former Pentagon official, Sokolski served as deputy for nonproliferation under Paul Wolfowitz from 1989 to 1993, when Wolfowitz was Undersecretary of Defense for Policy. He studied with Cold War strategist Albert Wohlstetter at University of Chicago. NPEC's program advisor Victor Gilinsky has been an independent consultant to NPEC, primarily on nuclear energy matters. From 1975 to 1984,
