Volpe 358 Contributors Nuclear Latency and Hedging: Concepts, History, and Issues Introduction Joseph F. Pilat trategic latency is a critical national security issue that involves the ways in which scientific, technological, and Sengineering advances pose new potential threats and challenges to the global balance of power. Advances in areas such as biotechnology and nanotechnology, materials science, and high-level manufacturing have produced far-reaching benefits, but also risk being used for nefarious purposes. Even older dual-use technologies, especially when used in novel ways, may be exploited for questionable ends. Because the prospective threats from these advances are complex, cutting edge, decentralized, and by definition not well characterized, it is difficult to conceive (let alone develop) possible responses to such strategic and technological surprises. Nuclear latency is one case of strategic latency. Although it has been an issue for nearly seven decades, since the dawn of the atomic age, there is no agreed definition of the term and the concept itself is difficult to characterize and measure. Most observers regard it as involving the pursuit of fissile materials and the means to produce them, as well as interest in their weaponization, including delivery vehicles. In this context— though without any reference to intent—nuclear latency entails the possession of some or all of the technologies, facilities, materials, expertise (including tacit knowledge), resources, and other capabilities needed to develop nuclear weapons, short of full operational weaponization. The views expressed are the author’s alone and are not the views of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Department of Energy, or any other agency. Nuclear Latency and Hedging: Concepts, History, and Issues Left: KURCHATOW, RUSSIA - JUNE 23, 2016: The operator monitors the readings of 1 devices and work equipment. Central control unit of Kursk NPP. - Image Nuclear latency has technical and historical dimensions. Technically, it derives from the dual-use nature of the atom. It also must be considered historically by looking at the full range of capabilities possessed by aspiring, existing, and former nuclear-weapon states, and the diffusion of nuclear- weapon-relevant information through different outlets, including nonstate nuclear supply networks and the Internet. Latency is critical to understanding nonproliferation and counterproliferation, as well as arms control and disarmament. From both perspectives, latency is a reality that can be seen as positive or negative, but in any scenario it complicates the achievement of the objective. Is nuclear latency unique? Is latency a condition for nuclear-weapon states and for many non-nuclear-weapon states? Can it be a strategy for proliferant states? Can it be a viable nonproliferation strategy? How has latency been seen and addressed in the past? Will latency be a positive or negative for future efforts to control or eliminate nuclear weapons? To what extent will latency exist in a nuclear- free world? To explore these and other issues from historical and policy perspectives, on May 11 and 12, 2017, the Los Alamos National Laboratory, in cooperation with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, held a workshop on “Nuclear Latency and Hedging” at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., with support from the Carnegie Corporation through the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project. The workshop followed an earlier one in 2014. The papers in this volume are largely from the 2017 workshop. History, Concepts, and Issues Although nuclear latency is an important issue with significant implications for deterrence, assurance, nonproliferation, arms control, and disarmament, the literature on nuclear latency is both limited and flawed. Latency, however conceived, deals with a state’s effort to build and maintain the capacity to “go nuclear” and credibly threaten the use of nuclear weapons. Given the country-specific and structural factors that drive 2 Nuclear Latency and Hedging: Concepts, History, and Issues proliferation as well as proliferation threat assessments, one cannot accurately assess latency without considering the strategic environment of the state in question. All states have latency to some degree. To assess a state’s latency, one must assess its human and material resources, technical knowledge and capability, industrial capacity, and access to nuclear materials. Strategic objectives also play a role. The continuum of latent capabilities ranges from general technology diffusion and the existence of nuclear-energy programs to conscious decisions to develop or maintain militarily significant nuclear-weapon capabilities. At one end of the continuum, in cases like Japan and South Korea, a state’s nuclear power programs and levels of technological and military-industrial development give evidence of its latency. Likewise, Iran’s latency became clear when it mastered enrichment, and even after the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iran nuclear program in September 2015, it has retained a latent nuclear capacity. At the other end, latency may also exist in states with clandestine nuclear programs, before its leaders decide to weaponize their potential capabilities. In such cases, the latency may not be known or recognized as a possible threat. Nuclear latency does not necessarily determine intentions, although a state’s patterns, scales, and timing of investment in nuclear resources and technology could indicate its intent. States’ weaponization, delivery, and support capabilities also provide critical indicators of intent, even if the information that could confirm this capacity is ambiguous or scarce. When assessing proliferation risks, it is essential to look at intentions as well as capabilities, even though motivations and intentions are difficult to assess. In this context, latency

    SAFETY RE-ASSESSMENT of AECL TEST and RESEARCH REACTORS D. J. WINFIELD Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories ATOMIC ENERGY of CANADA

    309 IAEA-SM-310/ 94 SAFETY RE-ASSESSMENT OF AECL TEST AND RESEARCH REACTORS D. J. WINFIELD Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories ATOMIC ENERGY OF CANADA LIMITED 310 IAEA-SM-310/94 SAFETY RE-ASSESSMENT OF AECL TEST AND RESEARCH REACTORS ABSTRACT Atomic Energy of Canada Limited currently has four operating engineering test/research reactors of various sizes and ages; a new isotope-production reactor MAPLE-X10, under construction at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories (CRNL), and a heating demonstration/test reactor, SDR, undergoing high-power commissioning at Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment (WNRE). The company is also performing design studies of small reactors for hot water and electricity production. The older reactors are ZED-2, PTR, NRX and NRU; these range in age from 42 years (NRX) to 29 years (ZED-2). Since 1984, limited-scope safety re-assessments have been underway on three of these reactors (ZED-2, NRX and NRU). ZED-2 and PTR are operated by the Reactor Physics Branch, all other reactors are operated by the respective site Reactor Operations Branches. For the older reactors the original safety reports produced were entirely deterministic in nature and based on the design-basis accident concept. The limited scope safety re-assessments for these older reactors, carried out over the past 5 years, have comprised both quantitative probabilistic safety-assessment techniques, such as event tree and fault tree analysis, and/or qualitative techniques, such as failure mode and effect analysis. The technique used for an individual assessment was dependent upon the specific scope required. This paper discusses the types of analyses carried out, specific insights/recommendations resulting from the analysis and indicates the plan for future analysis.

For these countries, as the expected need for military force relinquished, its actual use increased. Left with a need for improved tools for handling the increasing number of international security issues, the strategy of coercive diplomacy has never been of more current interest. This thesis seeks to address a lacuna in contemporary theorizing about coercive diplomacy, namely the under-theorization of the adversary. Through within-case and cross-case analysis of the NATO interventions in Bosnia- Herzegovina and Kosovo, I attempt to show how both scientists and political decision-makers can benefit from a more in-depth analysis of the coerced. The thesis takes the theoretical framework developed by Bruce Jentleson and Christopher Whytock as a starting point. As a significant step in the right direction, their model of coercive diplomacy better accounts for the motivations, interests, and expected reactions of the target state.

Gunboat diplomacy, associated with chiefly the activities of the Great Powers, means the use of naval power directly or indirectly as an aggressive diplomatic instrument. It seems highly probable to see many examples of this coercive diplomacy in the world history, particularly after the French Revolution. Naturally, the Ottoman Empire, always attracted attention of the Great Powers, was exposed to this policy of the Powers. During the nineteen century, the rivalry among the European Powers on the Ottoman territorial integrity became a common characteristic that led them to implement gunboat diplomacy on all occasions. In this context, this article firstly offers a critical analysis of gunboat diplomacy of the Great Powers on the Ottoman Empire within the dimension of two specific examples: The Salonika Incident and Armenian reform demands. In addition, it aims to contribute to the understanding of gunboat diplomacy of the Great Powers and Ottoman response by evaluating it from native and foreign literatures.

Working Paper: The Vulnerabilities of Developed States to Economic Cyber Warfare INTRODUCTION The central features of the ‘cybered’ world of the early 21st century are the interconnectedness of global communications, information and economic infrastructures and the dependence upon those infrastructures in order to govern, to do business or simply to live. There are a number of observations to be made of this world. First, it is still evolving. Economically developed societies are becoming ever more closely connected within themselves and with other, technologically advanced societies, and all are becoming increasingly dependent upon the rapid and reliable transmission of ideas, information and data. Second, where interconnectedness and dependency are not managed and mitigated by some form of security procedure, reversionary mode or redundancy system, then the result can only be a complex and vitally important communications system which is nevertheless vulnerable to information theft, financial electronic crime, malicious attack or infrastructure breakdown.
