UNCLASSIFIED I I sagas r n 580 Negotiating History Concerning the Manufacture of Nuclear Weapons shaman RELEASED IN FULL Under article II of the NPT a nonnuclearnweapon state is obligated not to manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive Neither this language nor the negotiating history provides hard and fast rules for determining precisely what constitutes Pmanufacture However the negotiating history demonstrates that preparations or efforts to acquire the capability to manufacture nuclear weapons are not alone sufficient to constitute a violation of article II Such an approach was preposed and expressly rejected during the negotiation processt 1' I During the negotiation of the NPT the Soviet Union proposed that nonnuclear-weapon states should undertake not to manufacture or prepare for the manufacture of nuclear weapons The U and other nations Opposed this proposal and the agreedrtext included only a pron1b1tion against manufacture of nuclear weapons Shaker 1he Eucl ear NQg Eggli gratign Qrigin and 1259- 972 pl 249 Various representatives acknowledged during the negotiations the intended limited scope of the ban but failed to clarify a precise standard for determining when an activity constitutes proscribed manufacture Thus the negotiating history does not clarify precisely where manufacture begins shaker pp 249-251 The U S view was expressed in a classified Aide Memoire given to the Australians in 1968 Thegymg decided at an early stage that it would be ot ical for the treaty to attempt to proscribe all C'h and deveIOpment that might contribute to the menu acture of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices Any such prohibition would have gone too far in restricting the development of peaceful uses of controlled nuclear energy and would have presented enormous verification problems EECBEI UNCLASSIFIED sassaaseass 32%1 42 NP 7 46 200802837 Jam qu D c I Lofi W 44- 60x4 UNCLASSIFIED -SECRET- i -2- Some general observations can be made with respect to the question of whether or not a specific activity constitutes prohibited manufacture under the proposed treaty For example facts indicating that the purpose of a particular activity was the acquisition of a nuclear explosive device would tend to show non compliance Thus the construction of an experimental or prototype nuclear explosive device would be covered by the term manufacture as would the production of components which could only have relevance to a nuclear explosive device Again while the placing of a particular activity under safeguards would not in and of -itself settle the question of whether that activity was in campliance with the treaty it would of course be helpful in allaying any suspicion of non-compliance I It may be useful to Point out for illustrative purposes several activities which the United States would not consider per se to be violations of the prohibitions in article II Neither uranium enrichment nor the stockpiling of fissionable material in connection with a peaceful program would violate article II so long as these activities were safeguarded under article Also clearly permitted would be the development under 'safeguards of plutonium fueled power reactors including research on the properties of metallic plutonium Nor would article II interfere with the development or use of fast breeder reactors under safeguards ee Aide Memoirs quoted in Classified Analysis of the Negotiation History of the NPT prepared for ACDA by InternatiOnal Energy Associates Limited IEAL 1985 at p 320 A shorter unclassified version of this view was presented by ACDA Director Foster in response to questions posed at 1968 Senate ratification hearings This response is quoted in Shaker at p 251 The U S made the following additional points in consultations with Japan during the negotiation process Bas'g scientific research would not be prohibited but mag Factors and research on the component parts of atomic
