New warhead report

News in Brief

Extreme Circumstances, an important new report from Nuclear Information Service (NIS), will be published on 16 August.

It looks into what’s happening with the UK’s Replacement Warhead Programme, tries to understand the strategic thinking behind it, and provides some informed thoughts about what it’s design specs are likely to be.

Much of the information NIS has drawn on comes from US public documents about their new W93 warhead – which the UK warhead depends on.
