Monitoring Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear-Explosive Materials : An Assessment of Methods and Capabilities
National Research Council, Policy and Global Affairs, Committee on International Security and Arms Control
In this study, CISAC tackles the technical dimensions of a longstanding controversy: To what extent could existing and plausibly attainable measures for transparency and monitoring make possible the verification of all nuclear weapons?strategic and nonstrategic, deployed and nondeployed?plus the nuclear-explosive components and materials that are their essential ingredients? The committee's assessment of the technical and organizational possibilities suggests a more optimistic conclusion than most of those concerned with these issues might have expected.
