Arms control and nonproliferation technologies, third quarter 1994. Dismantlement transparency
- eds.
The recent history-making agreements between the US and Russia to cooperate in dismantling existing nuclear weapons stockpiles point to the need for methods that can confirm, without revealing sensitive design information, that fissile material has indeed been removed from weapons. Methods for safe handling, storage, and transparent recordkeeping are needed as well. The issue of Arms Control and Nonproliferation Technologies highlights the Department of Energy`s current efforts in developing such technologies for nuclear weapon and fissile material control. Overview articles address the technical challenges of storage and inspection regimes for weapon components. Other articles present specific technologies for handling and dismantling components; for compliance with transportation requirements; for monitoring systems, both local and dispersed, based on nuclear radiation measurements; for monitoring without radiation detection; and for managing the immense amounts of information needed to track dismantled components. Selected papers are indexed separately for inclusion in the Energy Science and Technology Database.
