Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1996. — 534 p.This book provides an updated authoritative survey of the quantities of fissile material produced for nuclear weapons and in the civilian fuel cycle. The control of fissile materials and associated technologies are at the core of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. The authors demonstrate that despite technical, political and economic difficulties, a fully effective material control regime is feasible. The main steps towards realisation of such a regime are identified.
