Accidental Nuclear War: A Timeline of Close Calls
The most devastating military threat arguably comes from a nuclear war started not intentionally but by accident or miscalculation
. Accidental nuclear war has almost happened many times already, and with 15,000 nuclear weapons worldwide — thousands on hair-trigger alert and ready to launch at a moment’s notice — an accident is bound to occur eventually. The list of close calls above is too long for comfort, yet it’s likely very incomplete, given that these represent only America’s declassified events

. Many other events may have occurred in the U.S. that we don’t know about, and we certainly don’t know about close calls the other eight nuclear countries have had.
Verification Handbook: A definitive guide to verifying digital content for emergency coverage
Authored by leading journalists from the BBC, Storyful, ABC, Digital First Media and other verification experts, the Verification Handbook is a groundbreaking new resource for journalists and aid providers.

New Nonproliferation & Disarmament Verification Technology
A webpage that lists open-source information and new technical tools to support nonproliferation and disarmament verification, compiled by experts at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies and the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Nonproliferation. Satellite imagery, 3-dimensional (3D) modeling, geospatial data, new media, and virtual reality applications are key strengths in this body of work. Such tools extend the ability of non-governmental organizations to identify and determine the capabilities of proliferation-related activities, to verify further reductions of nuclear weapons, track illicit transfers of technology, and break new ground in societal verification research. All of this enhances the ability of citizens worldwide to verify compliance with international arms control treaties
