In the next seven decades, nine additional countries carried out some 2060 nuclear explosions, spreading radioactive contamination in the air, lands and space, and in the world’s oceans, leading to long-lasting catastrophic consequences for the health and well-being of millions of innocent people.\u00a0JAPANESE\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0MALAY<\/a>


The Limits of Breakout Estimates in Assessing Iran\u2019s Nuclear Program<\/a>

An Issue Brief by the\u00a0Arms Control Association<\/a>\u00a0Issue Brief
By Kelsey Davenport, Director for Nonproliferation Policy, with Julia Masterson, Research Assistant
WASHINGTON, D.C. (IDN) \u2013Over the past year, Iran has taken\u00a0several troubling steps<\/a>\u00a0to breach the limits that were imposed on its nuclear program by the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). While Iran\u2019s violations of the accord appear to be\u00a0carefully calibrated<\/a>\u00a0to create leverage in response to the Trump administration\u2019s 2018 withdrawal from the accord and reimposition of sanctions, Iran\u2019s actions have rekindled the debate about how quickly Iran could \u201cbreakout,\u201d or produce enough nuclear material for a bomb.\u00a0[2020\u201308-10]
