In this paper, the question is asked, how should a country plan a new denuclearization verification regime? Should it concentrate on accounting for fissile material, should it try to "verify" a declaration of the program's history, or,as some analysts have suggested, should it simply redirect the weapons scientists toward peaceful purposes after dismantling the weapons infrastructure and monitor their activity?
