He has been a visiting scientist at MIT's Plasma Fusion Center, and a consultant to the Department of Defense, the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, the Office of Technology Assessment, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, and the Federation of American Scientists. Fetter's articles on policy-related issues have appeared in Science, Nature, Scientific American, International Security, Science and Global Security, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and Arms Control Today. He has contributed chapters to a dozen edited volumes on arms control, and is author of the book Toward a Comprehensive Test Ban.
