1 APPROACHES TO NUCLEAR WARHEAD COUNTING Alexander Glaser Princeton University PVTS-SGS Workshop on Verification Technologies Beijing, June 15 16, 2015 Paul Shambroom Revision 0
2 BACKGROUND VERIFICATION CHALLENGES OF DEEP(ER) REDUCTIONS
3 KEY VERIFICATION CHALLENGES OF TREATIES THAT LIMIT TOTAL NUMBER OF WEAPONS CORRECTNESS OF DECLARATIONS Warhead Counting Verify that numerical limit of declared items is not exceeded Warhead Authentication Verify authenticity of warheads prior to dismantlement COMPLETENESS OF DECLARATIONS Most promising may be techniques to verify completeness of fissile material declarations; nuclear forensic analysis can be used to estimate historic fissile material production ( nuclear archaeology ) Source: U.S. Department of Energy (top) and U.S. Department of Defense, (bottom) 3
