A detailed technical and policy analysis commissioned by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, this report evaluates whether the United States can maintain a safe and reliable nuclear arsenal without explosive testing, and assesses the verifiability, detection capabilities, and enforcement mechanisms under the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). It examines detection technologies, stockpile stewardship, risks of evasion, and legal-ethical considerations — providing a foundational reference for policymakers debating ratification and implementation of the CTBT
