In the Hiroshima Report 2012, the following
issues were surveyed: acceptance and implementation of verification for nuclear
weapons reduction; engagement in research and development of verification
measures of nuclear weapons reduction; and acceptance of the IAEA verification
to fissile material declared as no longer required for military purposes. In
2013, no significant progress was seen on these issues. Russia and the United
States have implemented verifications under the New START. Both countries have
also discussed verification measures for their fissile material surplus to the
defense program with the IAEA, but have not concluded.[1]
