In 2021, the cross-disciplinary Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament (AMC) was inaugurated at Uppsala University. This moment appears almost time-defining: nuclear weapons were returning to the centre of world politics, though not in ways that suggested new opportunities for disarmament. Yet times inevitably change, and disarmament will eventually return to the global agenda. When it does, the tools required for effective and credible verification must be ready.
In this talk, I will give an overview of the verifiable pathways to nuclear disarmament, and in addition I will provide a brief description of our ongoing research projects within the Technical Verification and Monitoring working group at AMC. Our research portfolio will be presented, including the development of active neutron techniques for verifying absence/presence of fissile material, nuclear archaeology, and coincidence gamma-ray spectrometry for detection of nuclear test explosions.
