This paper reports on a database on international nuclear trade started in 1986 at the UCLA Center for International and Strategic Affairs (CISA). The basic premise underlying the CISA database is that the core of the problem with respect to knowledge of the behavior of the emerging nuclear supplier states is less one of data availability and more one of systematic data collection and analysis. The major problem is that the data are scattered throughout different nuclear energy, trade, and financial publications---many of which are exceedingly expensive and not readily available even at major research libraries. Moreover, with the exception of data on power reactors, the information is not reported in a format that facilitates comparative analysis over time or across states. The CISA database is designed to remedy these deficiencies
