Santa Monica, Calif

In this seminar, the authors will provide a preview of a paper they plan
to present a planetary defense workshop at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory on 22-26 May. This seminar will expand on the results of an
international conference on "Problems of Defense of the Earth Against
Collision with Dangerous Space Bodies" held in Snezhinsk last year.

The center, located in the once "secret city" of Chelyabinsk-70, is
leading a consortium of Russian nuclear, space and scientific research
facilities on this proposal. The consortium hopes to receive funding
through the U.S.-backed International Science and Technology Center in
Moscow.
