AbstractAbstract
[en] This report studies the efforts of the international community and the United States to verif)/ the denuclearization of various countries: Ukraine, South Africa, Iraq, Taiwan, and Libya. In doing so, it considers the verification of nuclear warhead destruction and the accounting of nuclear materials. Each case study contributes to the understanding we have of which verification procedures worked and which did not and what factors contributed to that success and which did not. The most important factor contributing to successful verification is the cooperation of the subject country. If a country has made the strategic decision to cooperate, then it is possible that verification can be successful. If the country chooses not to cooperate, verification might rest on random and unpredictable events. This unpredictability of verification is politically unacceptable. Even if verification is judged to be successful by the implementing agencies, outsiders can cast doubts on it by pointing out small and potentially unavoidable errors in material amounts verified. It is vitally important to systematically preserve forensic evidence, especially shipping and receiving records to avoid just such issues. Historically, such records are the most important evidence in verifying denuclearization. Technology is far less important than forensic analysis of records. It does play a supporting role in verifying some declarations but there can be an enormous delay in drawing conclusions caused by the necessity to analyze statistically large samples of materials. The confidence one gets from such analysis can be delayed well past the time it is politically significant. The most important advance in technology would be to accelerate that sample analysis process.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Since his memorandum from January 1980 ('Why I am against the modernization of TNF') which had lead to the supersession of his commandership and to his premature retirement the author has appeared as one of the most consequent critics of the modernization of the Theatre Nuclear Forces (TNF). In this paperback the author's contributions to the peace movement which had been published only sporadically so far were compiled for the first time in chronological order. The book is intended to represent both a documentation, a reference-book and working material. (HSCH)

Seit seinem Memorandum vom Januar 1980 ('Warum ich die Nachruestung ablehne'), das zur Abloesung von seinem Truppenkommando und vorzeitigen Pensionierung fuehrte, tritt der Verfasser als einer der konsequentesten Kritiker der Nachruestung auf. In dem Taschenbuch-Sammelband erscheinen die bisher verstreut veroeffentlichten Beitraege des Verfassers zur Friedensbewegung erstmals als Buch in chronologischer Reihenfolge. Das Buch soll Dokumentation, Nachlesebuch und Arbeitsmaterial in einem sein. (HSCH)Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] The problem now faced by the nuclear industry is what to do with a huge potential surplus of plutonium. This is expected to arise over the next few years from the dismantling of nuclear warheads and from civil reprocessing. This was the major issue at the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (JAIF) conference, Yokohama, 8-10 April which is reported in this article. (author)
