This is a Phase III deliverable from the Technology Track.
Phase III of the IPNDV considered verification aspects of both a reduction of nuclear warheads and limiting the number of nuclear warheads to a specific, agreed upon maximum limit. In both cases, there is a risk that nuclear warheads are diverted from accountability under a treaty verification regime, thus leading to the state retaining more nuclear warheads than the treaty permits. Mitigating that risk requires robustness in terms of the processes, procedures, techniques and technologies employed by the verification regime. The Technology Track explored the technological aspects of four different potential diversion pathways.
