Good morning from Prague. The Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC) released today correspondence between the House Committee on Foreign Affairs (HCFA) and the US Secretary of State (SECSTATE) reaffirming that it is crucially important that any nuclear activity protected under the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons afford "timely warning" of possible diversions for military or unknown purposes.
For more on the legislative history of what "timely warning" requires, check out this 1988 essay by Leonard Weiss.
And for more on this topic, see NPEC's recently released edited volume, Falling Behind: International Scrutiny of the Peaceful Atom, which includes my NPEC essay, "The NPT, IAEA Safeguards and Peaceful Nuclear Energy: An 'Inalienable Right,' but Precisely to What?"
