I believe the idea is that this is supposed to be used when decommissioning as part of a disarmament treaty, i.e. both parties witness the warhead being destroyed, but how do you know it's an actual warhead rather than a dummy that is being destroyed.
- JorgeGT 10y agoThis is correct. The objective is to verify that the weapon you're seen being dismantled is indeed a real warhead and not a fake one. It should be noted that a fake one could include some random nuclear material and still would be a fake so you can't just measure radioactivity.
