Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: If one breaks down a nuclear weapons system into its component parts, these can be broadly categorised as fissile materials and human capital; or, the weapon components and the people who create and assemble those components. If one of the two is missing, a state's nuclear weapons programme will be severely retarded, if it can move forward at all. And despite knowing the important role that scientists play in creating a weapons programme, the current non-proliferation regime is focused almost solely on limiting and regulating the movement of fissile material and related technologies. No one - policy makers or scholars - seems to mind that exchange of nuclear information is encouraged throughout the regime, as long as it is not for the express purpose of creating weapons technology. In recent months, however, the international community is learning the hard way that it is incredibly difficult to stop one type of knowledge transfer (for weapons construction) whilst simultaneously allowing and encouraging another (for civilian nuclear research). This paper will examine the current state of the nuclear non-proliferation regime, with a specific focus on its treatment of dissemination of human capital. While some early history of the regime will be discussed, the bulk of the paper will focus on the changes (or lack thereof) to the regime after the end of the Cold War in 1991 - including, and focused intently on the most recent initiatives sponsored by the U.S. and allied governments aimed at slowing the proliferation of nuclear materials and human capital. After considering the recent history and current initiatives trying to slow the dissemination of human capital, some policy ideas for furthering current or instituting new non-proliferation programmes will be discussed.
