The policy options presented to combat the spread of nuclear weapons correspond to differing levels of perceived risk of proliferation relative to the need for nuclear energy. This volume contains: incentives/disincentives, peaceful nuclear explosions, non-state adversaries, international nuclear industry, and technical description of fuel cycle facilities and evaluation of diversion potential.
