Leonard Weiss on 'Timely Warning' in NNPA of 1978

The Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC) is making available "The Concept of 'Timely Warning' in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Act of 1978" by Leonard Weiss as primary-source background for NPEC's project on assessing the International Atomic Energy Agency's ability to safeguard peaceful nuclear energy.

Mr. Weiss, who worked for Sen. John Glenn for more than two decades, was the chief architect of the NNPA of 1978 and other legislation sponsored by Sen. Glenn. This essay was originally placed by Sen. Glenn in The Congressional Record of March 21, 1988, in order to establish the legislative intent of the law regarding what is meant by "timely warning" and thus which civil nuclear activities are -- and are not -- effectively safeguardable.
