IPFM Releases Global Fissile Material Report 2007

On Thursday, 11 October, the International Institute for Strategic Studies, London, will host the launch of the 2007 Global Fissile Material Report by the International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM), an independent group of scientists and analysts from sixteen countries.

The Global Fissile Material Report provides an annual review of worldwide stocks, production, and disposition of highly enriched uranium (HEU) and plutonium, the key ingredients in nuclear weapons, and assesses global efforts to secure and eliminate these materials. Deep cuts and consolidation in the stocks of highly enriched uranium and plutonium is critical to nuclear disarmament, halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and ensuring that terrorists do not acquire nuclear weapons.

Download the full report: GFMR 2007

Here's the Table of Contents:
  1. Nuclear Weapon and Fissile Material Stockpiles and Production
  2. Disposition of Excess Highly Enriched Uranium
  3. Disposition of Excess Plutonium
  4. Fissile Material Consolidation in the U.S. Nuclear Complex
  5. Progress Toward Nuclear Disarmament
  6. International Safeguards in the Nuclear Weapon States
  7. Managing the Civilian Nuclear Fuel Cycle
  8. Russia’s Nuclear-Energy Complex and its Roles as an International Fuel-Cycle-Services Provider
  9. Detection of Clandestine Fissile Material Production
