  • For their help in describing the U.S. “stored weapon standard” for physical protection of nuclear weapons used in this report, the author wishes to express particular thanks to two people. The first is Wolfgang K. H. Panofsky who was chairman of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on International Security and Arms Control at the time that it recommended following the “stored weapon standard” for physical protection of nuclear material. The second is Rob Rinne, a senior scientist at Sandia National Laboratory, an organization that is concerned, among other things, with national and international standards for physical protection of nuclear material.
