Volatile assumptions

  • Can distribution, hardening, redundancy, reconstruction, diplomacy, and economic continuity reduce attack incentives without threatening mass retaliation?
  • Legal, regulator, programme, supplier, standards, and international-framework status can change independently of this local record.

Scenario dependencies

Disconfirming evidence

  • Concentrated energy, semiconductor, communications, time, key, and maintenance dependencies can defeat nominal geographic distribution.
  • A competent authority, current primary source, or observed physical condition contradicting the local assumption.

Affected public claims

  • Civilian nuclear strategy record EVI-NS-019
  • No-current-operation boundary
  • Weapons-abstinence and non-proliferation position
