Focus on nuclear disarmament – Second NuDiVe exercise on verification procedures in Jülich

While effective verification will be crucial for future nuclear disarmament, it involves a number of technical challenges. How can inspectors confirm that a nuclear warhead has been destroyed if they are not allowed to be present during the actual dismantlement? Experts of the International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification (IPNDV) have developed procedures to bridge this gap. After the first Nuclear Disarmament Verification (NuDiVe) exercise at Forschungszentrum Jülich in 2019, the second Franco-German-led NuDiVe exercise took place in April 2022. 24 participants from 11 countries stepped into the roles of inspectors, representatives of the inspected nuclear-weapon state and evaluators. Building on the lessons learnt from NuDiVe 2019, they tested improved procedures and some additional advanced verification technologies in a simulated dismantlement facility, including a fictitious warhead.
