Robots, Buddy Tags and a MOS 6502: Innovative Tools for Access-Limited Arms Control Verification — •Moritz Kütt1, Alexander Glaser2, and Robert J. Goldston2 — 1Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany — 2Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA
Verification approaches for nuclear arms control agreements inevitably encounter restrictions on access to information, items and sites that states-parties deem sensitive for national security purposes. This talk will present three systems which can achieve credible verification results without the need to lift such restrictions: 1) Robots can inspect sites where inspectors only have limited access. Our neutron-detecting, directionally and spectrally sensitive robot could detect illicit activities in uranium enrichment facilities. 2) Buddy Tags allow to account for treaty-accountable items where identifiying tags cannot be directly attached. We demonstrate a prototype with a highly sensitive motion detection system capable of detecting illicit movements with accelerations of 20-30µg. 3) Information barriers protect sensitive information acquired during warhead authentication procedures. Based on the MOS6502 processor, we demonstrate a “vintage verification” system. The template-based, gamma spectroscopy information barrier allows both parties to simultaneously establish trust in the hardware used.
