Balancing the Books: Production and Stocks
While Britain is contributing productively to disarmament efforts, its fissile material records should be more transparent. A better means of tracking fissile materials is imperative as the world pursues mechanisms to verify nuclear weapons reductions.

In spite of these difficulties, Acton and his co-authors are able to present the most detailed accounting of UK military fissile materials available in the public domain, including a comprehensive analysis of its naval reactor program. They advocate for more detailed reports on the United Kingdom's fissile materials and argue that as the United Kingdom decommissions its production facilities there will be a valuable opportunity for international verification.
