The breakup of the Soviet Union left a cold war nuclear legacy
consisting of tens of thousands of nuclear weapons and a sprawling
infrastructure for their production and maintenance. This book
examines the fate of this vast nuclear weapon complex and the
unprecedented non-proliferation challenges associated with the
breakup of a nuclear weapon state. It describes the high-level
diplomatic bargaining efforts to consolidate in Russia the nuclear
weapons based in newly independent Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine
and to strengthen central control over these weapons. It surveys
the problems associated with dismantling nuclear weapons and the
difficulties involved in safely storing and disposing of large
stockpiles of fissile material. It reviews the key provisions of
the principal nuclear arms control measures and initiatives,
including the START I and START II treaties. Finally, the book
assesses the contribution of international assistance programmes to
the denuclearization process under way in the former Soviet Union.
