The purpose of arms control is to improve the security of the countries that engage in the agreements. The US and the Soviet Union as well as other independent nations have realized that additional nuclear weapons, new kinds of weapons, or expanded areas of deployment will not improve their security, and thus they are willing to negotiate limits. Michael M. May, Associate Director at Large, Paul S. Brown, Assistant Associate Director for Arms Control, Milo D. Nordyke, Leader for the Treaty Verification Research Program, and Paul L. Chrzanowski, Strategic Applications Group Leader, discuss LLNL's role in US arms control efforts. Arms control is an integral part of the Laboratory's mission. Arms control delegations often include members or advisors from LLNL to provide the technical information and make the technical arguments that stem from our expertise in weapons design.
