The Nuclear Security Project has launched the following studies to help build understanding about how to advance the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons and the steps needed to get there:
Verification Study
The Verification Study seeks to address the challenges associated with verification, monitoring and enforcement of a world free of nuclear weapons and the steps needed to accomplish it. Papers on 10 key topics have been commissioned and will undergo a review process before they are integrated and published with an executive summary during spring 2009.
Fuel Cycle Study
This study is engaging experts from industry, government, research and non-governmental institutions in a structured dialogue to consider what would constitute an optimal fuel cycle in a nuclear weapons free world and plausible paths to achieving such a fuel cycle.
Project "Base Camp"
This project is working to define and assess alternative "base camps" that could serve as a point of departure for movement to the "mountaintop" and the long-term goal of a nuclear weapons free world, as well as the paths from the base camp to the end goal. A final report is expected to be published in spring 2009.
