(I don’t know that there’s much of an EA consensus on nuclear weapons issues—and if there is, I don’t know what the consensus is—so these aren’t quite questions about what EA gets right/wrong on this.)
I think something that is not at all obvious from the outside is that in my estimate, at any given time, there is usually <2 FTE EA researchers who are thinking seriously about nuclear risk strategy from a longtermist angle (not counting advocacy, very junior trainee SERI/CERI researchers, people trying to get into policy position, scattershot work by grantmakers opportunistically evaluating nuclear grants, neartermist work, etc).
