Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control

The Wisconsin Project carries out research and public education designed to stop the spread of mass destruction weapons and long-range missiles. The Project has been investigating transfers of nuclear, chemical/biological and missile-related technology since 1986. It is a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization in Washington, D.C. founded in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin.  The Project’s three principal products are:

The Risk Report database
The leading source of unclassified information on companies around the world suspected of building weapons of mass destruction.  Some 30 governments use it to keep dangerous products out of the wrong hands.

Iran Watch
A comprehensive web site that tracks Iran’s ability to construct nuclear and chemical weapons and the missiles to deliver them.

Iraq Watch
An archived web site that contains information about Iraq’s past mass destruction weapon programs, who supplied them, the U.N. inspection process, the post-war weapon search, and remaining disarmament questions.
