Psychological Deterrents to Nuclear Theft,

Abstract

In 1975 the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) and the National Bureau of Standards jointly conceived the psychological deterrents project as an on-going review of the unclassified and the classified literature relating to psychological factors that may have impact on the design and development of DNA's Forced Entry Deterrent System (better known as FEDS). The classified and unclassified literature suggest that it may be possible to manipulate several human behavioral processes, but that there are few definitive data directly related to achieving deterrence by means of these psychological manipulations.
