Verifying Nuclear Disarmament

Beschreibung

Fifty years into the nuclear non-proliferation treaty regime the risks of nuclear war, terrorism and the threat of further proliferation remain: this book presents a comprehensive framework for nuclear disarmament.

Autor

Thomas Shea is an adjunct, non-resident senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists, and is widely recognized as an expert in nuclear disarmament verification, non-proliferation, and international safeguards. He specializes in pragmatic yet innovative approaches to verification, and has been honored for his work on Iran, the Trilateral Initiative, on a future FMCT, and on IAEA inspections in complex civil plants processing weapon-usable plutonium and highly enriched uranium, and how those measures might be applied in the context of nuclear disarmament. Dr. Shea recently completed a FAS study supported by a MacArthur Foundation grant on the relevance of nuclear powered naval vessels to non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament, which may have relevance for Iran and for the 2020 NPT Review Conference.

Rezensionen

"His work is particularly valuable in light of the new Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which requires
dismantling nuclear warheads but does not contain specific verification provisions. Shea's book offers a path forward for realizing the political goals of nuclear disarmament."
