| Popis: |
The previous chapter explored some of the ways that the idea of verification has found expression in the nuclear arena. From the complexities of IAEA safeguards, to the challenges associated with bilateral and international treaties, this brief and eclectic overview of verification-related initiatives provided an insight into the evolution of the concept and its application. Of particular interest here is the fact that the scope of nuclear verification activities carried out under bilateral and international treaties to date has been limited to civil materials and facilities, delivery vehicles for nuclear weapons and the remote identification of nuclear tests. The New START Treaty provided inspectors with “the opportunity to confirm that the actual number of warheads emplaced on a designated missile matches the declared figure at the pre-inspection briefing”, but this did not go beyond visual confirmation. |
