International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification: Current Status and Future Prospects — •Irmgard Niemeyer1, Gerald Kirchner2, and Götz Neuneck3 — 1Forschungszentrum Jülich — 2ZNF Universität Hamburg — 3IFSH Universität Hamburg
The International Partnership for Disarmament Verification (IPNDV) includes technical experts and government representatives of NWS and NNWS to work jointly on procedures and technologies that would allow for effective verification of nuclear disarmament. In Phase I (2016-2017), the Partnership focused on nuclear warhead dismantlement and identified 14 key steps in the nuclear weapons dismantlement lifecycle. Initially, IPNDV considered steps 6 to 10, associated with monitoring the nuclear warhead physical dismantlement process. In Phase II (2018-2019), IPDNV broadened its work to consider wider aspects of nuclear disarmament verification while at the same time deepen the work on specific elements of verification. In moving from paper to practice, IPNDV demonstrated their work and progress through five practical exercises and technology demonstrations: A table top exercise, three technology demonstrations, and the Nuclear Disarmament Verification (NuDiVe) Exercise, co-hosted by Germany and France. In the following phase, IPNDV will build on current working methods and engage in further hands-on activities, including scenario-based discussions, practical exercises and technology demonstrations. The talk will discuss the outcome of IPNDVs first two phases and give an outlook to the next phase.
