Abstract

Dr. Glen Warren, a nuclear physicist in the radiation detection and nuclear sciences group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, discusses the challenges presented by nuclear weapon dismantlement verification. He shares his experience working on a project to design a system that is capable of verifying nuclear weapon dismantlement, and he explains that the successful design is less focused on the technologies of the measurements and more focused on satisfying the security and verification challenges.
