Evaluation of the 1983 Rosengren report from the standpoint of a comprehensive test ban (CTB)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5452872
An unclassified study by Jack W. Rosengren titled ''Some Little-Publicized Difficulties with a Nuclear Freeze'' has frequently been cited to substantiate arguments that a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) would degrade the reliability of the US nuclear deterrent. This paper evaluates the examples cited in the Rosengren report as to whether they support the thesis that nuclear explosive testing is necessary to maintain confidence in the reliability of the existing US stockpile of thoroughly tested nuclear weapons.
