The Nuclear Threat Initiative and the Center for Strategic and
International Studies joined to launch the New Approaches to the
Fuel Cycle project. This project sought to build consensus on
common goals, address practical challenges, and engage a spectrum
of actors that influence policymaking regarding the nuclear fuel
cycle. The project also tackled one of the toughest issues-spent
nuclear fuel and high level waste-to see if solutions there might
offer incentives to states on the front end of the nuclear fuel
cycle and address the inherent inertia and concerns about
additional burdens and restrictions that have stalled past efforts
to improve the robustness of the nonproliferation regime. This
report presents the group's conclusions that a best-practices
approach to the nuclear fuel cycle can achieve these objectives and
offer a path to a more secure and sustainable nuclear landscape.
The Nuclear Security Project, launched in 2007, helped reframe the
global debate on nuclear issues and garnered significant global and
domestic attention, increasing the political space for addressing
global nuclear dangers and advancing understanding of the steps
needed to reduce nuclear dangers. This volume, one of several under
the project, presents a blueprint for actions government leaders
can take to guide the policy making and technical development
necessary to move toward a world free of nuclear weapons. Ten
expert contributors identify the key technical, political, and
diplomatic challenges associated with verifying, monitoring, and
enforcing a world free of nuclear weapons and provide potential
solutions to those challenges. Unifying themes include principal
challenges or stumbling blocks; current technical limits that
should inform decisions about investment in further research and
technical analysis; technical constraints to developing the kind of
system necessary to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons; and
developing the architecture for a verification system.
