Using an intelligent nuclear sensor in the (open quotes)Cooperative Corral(close quotes) scenario

摘要

The 'Cooperative Corral' scenario using the Intelligent Nuclear Sensor is described. The term 'cooperative corral' was coined to describe the scenario in which a number of nuclear weapons are kept in one place (the 'corral'). The owners of the weapons cooperate with the monitoring party. The monitoring party surrounds, but does not enter, the corral. In this scenario, the Intelligent Nuclear Sensor monitors vehicles leaving the corral to determine if they are carrying significant fractions of the amount of plutonium needed to make a nuclear weapon. Test results are given that show that the Intelligent Nuclear Sensor performs this mission well.
