Nuclear Weapons R&D Organizations in Nine Nations
11 October 2011China, France, India, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States have developed and currently deploy nuclear weapons, with North Korea and Israel also declaring possession of nuclear weapons.
This report describes the organisations controlling research and development (R&D) on nuclear weapons, including nuclear explosive devices, as distinct from the bombers and missiles that carry them in these nations, while presenting a brief history of the organisations controlling nuclear R&D in the US.
The report is intended to provide information to Members of Congress and their staff who are interested in nuclear weapons, nuclear proliferation and arms control matters, while also discussing whether these organisations are civilian or military, though in many nations the lines between civilian and military are blurred.
