Ryccia Post-War Planning Conference
#31

It is the position of Kringalia that the Constitutional Monarchy of Ryccia should not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. It is such possession that allowed the current situation to escalate in the first place. While Ryccia may have legitimate concerns regarding its national defence, Kringalia does not believe that such defence should be pursued through the use of nuclear weapons, which are of an inherently offensive nature.

I have authority from the President to negotiate a reasonable timetable for the dismantling of nuclear weapons under Ryccian control, but I cannot negotiate on the question of Ryccian possession itself. Our Government believes that such an unstable government should not be allowed to keep weapons of mass destruction.

Resentine would like Sedunn to recall that Resentine has NO research and NO production of nuclear weapons except for a short period in our civil war. Therefore we do not have the technology to produce such live or non-live warheads, and sees this as the perfect situation as to begin actual field testing of our designs. And since Ryccian Nuclear weapons are some of the more advanced versions amoung the world, this would make them ideal for testing, as to make sure that the SDI's would be able to breach and disable thse weapons. We would not need to consider the danger of Nuclear Derbis for the moment, as our nation has gone through a civil war and there are many abandoned areas to test them in.

Sedunn is also worried about the volatile state of Ryccia, as mentioned before. That is why such actions aiming to dismantle the arsenal should be put on hold until after a fair election and a trial of the previous regime.

Regarding the testing programme, Sedunn uses conventional missiles for testing with great success.

While conventional Missiles are convenient, Resentine needs to know if we can disable the Uranium/Plutonium (depending on the prefered version) core itself, or at least cause it's destruction before the actual ignition of the explosive core. If we cannot effectively do this, the entire SDI program may as well have been a waste of 10 solid years of research.

#35

The position of Sedunn is that the SDI program could be tested with conventional targets, but if Resentine has determined that actual warheads are needed to fully evaluate the system the Government of Sedunn will not further discuss this matter. What to do with the vast arsenal must be decided jointly.

Our crack nuclear engineers will assist the Resentine teams in disassembly of the nuclear warheads.

While disassembly itself would be a multinational operation, SDI program operation would not require the disassembly of the weapons, as we need live targets to test our actual lasers on. Others may have already had similar success, maybe even with a similar chemical that we are using, which is deuterium fluoride, but we have no idea what is going to happen when we use this laser against an active weapon. Hence, why we need one. or three. or twenty actually. Consistency reasons of course. Only after we are done testing will we need any help disassembling the weapons. But, hopefully, assuming any tests work the way we intend them to, there will be no need to disassemble any because the radioactive elements will be destroyed. We would, however, propose you send a science team to possibly study our technology and create your own version? That way you can defend yourself from these WMDs as well.

If the bomb actually went off, you'd have fission products hay would last a few hundred years. This is the same as nuclear waste.
If the bomb did not actually detonate, the uranium or plutonium would be salvagable.

We're not looking to detonate the bomb. We're looking to destroy the elements used to create the explosion. Understand SDIs are supposed to destroy the weapon before the fusion or fission reaction is supposed to take place, which normally happens just before a weapon collides with it's target, to cause maximum damage to an area. We would not be setting any of these bombs off, we would merely be testing that our SDI could pierce the outer shell of a warhead and destroy the elements used to create such an explosion, because if the elements are not present when the warhead is supposed to go off, instead of getting a massive nuclear explosion, you get a crashed missile and a rather embarrassing story of that one time you launched a nuke and it DIDN'T WORK. We believe that if our tests succeed, we would be able to adapt this technology for not just ground use, but orbital use as well, to be placed on satellites and destroy the Missiles as they are launching.

It's not possible to just destroy the elements. They're elements. They'd still be there even if they rusted or borrowed or exploded.
It would, however, be hypothetically possible to take out the fins, engines, or guidance systems, to make IR go off course and crash.
