Design Recommendations for an FM(C)TShould be verified: essential in a disarming worldBy the IAEA (already trained and equipped to do the task)Like the NPT, no detailed verification provisions in theTreaty since IAEA has the mechanisms to developappropriate verification measuresTreaty should prohibit the production of all fissilematerials (plutonium Pu, highly enriched uranium HEU...)for use in nuclear weaponsProduction facilities should be closed and dismantled orused for civilian or non-explosive military purposes.Production facilities are reprocessing plants (separating Pufrom spent radioactive fuel) and uranium enrichmentfacilities.
Four categories of stocks of fissile materials1. Fissile materials in or for weapons2. Fissile materials for civilian purposes3. Fissile materials declared as excess for military/explosivepurposes4. Fissile materials in or for military reactors (navalpropulsion, tritium production)Category 1 is directly related to nuclear disarmamentagreements.FM(C)T should cover categories 2-4 which should never beused for weapons : a one-way street to safeguards
