In early 2007, representatives from UK Ministry of Defence, the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment, several Norwegian laboratories and the Non-Governmental Organisation VERTIC (Verification Research, Training and Information Centre) began work on the technical verification of nuclear arms control.
This is the first time that a Nuclear Weapon State and a Non Nuclear Weapon State and an independent NGO have collaborated in this field of research. This work was presented at the 2009 NPT PrepCon.
The 2010 report details the outcome of three years collaboration between experts from Norway and the United Kingdom to investigate technical and procedural challenges associated with a possible future nuclear disarmament verification regime.
