ABSTRACT

The Nuclear Notebook is researched and written by Hans M. Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project with the Federation of American Scientists, and Matt Korda, a research associate with the project. The Nuclear Notebook column has been published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists since 1987. This issue’s column examines North Korea’s nuclear arsenal. The authors cautiously estimate that North Korea may have produced enough fissile material to build between 40 and 50 nuclear weapons; however, it may not have actually assembled that many.

摘要

核笔记本由美国科学家联合会核信息项目主任 Hans M. Kristensen 和该项目的研究助理 Matt Korda 研究和编写。核笔记本专栏自 1987 年以来一直在《原子科学家公报》上发表。本期专栏探讨了朝鲜的核武库。作者谨慎地估计，朝鲜可能已经生产了足够的裂变材料来制造 40 到 50 枚核武器；然而，它实际上可能没有组装那么多。要查看之前所有的核笔记本专栏，请访问 https://thebulletin.org/nuclear-risk/nuclear-weapons/nuclear-notebook/。
