Nuclear Weapon Breakout Scenarios: Correcting the Record

First, Glaser and Kemp ignore the potential for breakout using a covert facility which would yield weapon grade uranium from a stock of low enriched uranium (LEU) significantly faster than their estimates, based on enrichment activity at the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant. Though the paper’s summary and conclusion imply that the possibility of undeclared facilities or feedstock have been incorpor...

A Diagnostic Approach to Weapon System Lifecycle Support: The Phalanx Close-in Weapon System

This study discusses a diagnostic approach to examining the lifecycle support system of a weapon system—specifically illustrating the approaches for the US Navy Phalanx Closein Weapon System (CIWS). The study gauges the status of current readiness and analyzes a snapshot of cost structures. The study identifies the program’s influential cost factors and system performance drivers. As a diagnost...

هدف اصلی این تحقیق مقایسه و تمایز بین روشها و استراتژیهای خاص برای درک مطلب بهتر در زبان مادری و زبان دوم بوده است. در قدم اول میزان توانایی افراد در درک مطلب فارسی و انگلیسی اندازه گیری و سپس رده بندی شد. همچنین از دانش آموزان خواسته شد که در مورد روشها و استراتژیهایی که برای درک مطلب بهتر به کار برده بودند توضیح دهند. نتیجه این مرحله از تحقیق نشان داد که دانشجویان برای درک مطلب مطلوب در زبان ...

Environmental Detection of Clandestine Nuclear Weapon Programs

Environmental sensing of nuclear activities has the potential to detect nuclear weapon programs at early stages, deter nuclear proliferation, and help verify nuclear accords. However, no robust system of detection has been deployed to date. This can be variously attributed to high costs, technical limitations in detector technology, simple countermeasures, and uncertainty about the magnitude or...
