Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.
Included when supported
Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.
- 01Criterion
Nuclear Weapons R&D Contractors
Defined as: Companies performing research or development specifically for nuclear weapons, nuclear warheads, nuclear missile systems, or nuclear-armed delivery platforms.
- 02Criterion
Nuclear Systems Engineering Providers
Defined as: Companies providing systems engineering, requirements management, architecture, integration planning, technical advisory, or programme engineering specifically for nuclear-weapons programmes.
- 03Criterion
Government-Funded Nuclear Weapons Engineering Programmes
Defined as: Companies receiving government or military funding for engineering, design, prototype, or modernization work connected to nuclear weapons or nuclear-specific delivery systems.
- 04Criterion
Nuclear Laboratory Technical Support Providers
Defined as: Companies providing technical services to nuclear-weapons laboratories or production facilities where the work supports warhead design, stockpile modernization, or weapon-system development.
- 05Criterion
Nuclear-Specific Component and Subsystem Design Support
Defined as: Companies designing or engineering components, materials, software, or subsystems specifically for nuclear weapons or nuclear-specific delivery systems.
Excluded on this basis alone
These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.
- 01Criterion
Civilian Nuclear Research and Engineering
Defined as: Companies performing research, design, engineering, or testing solely for civilian nuclear energy, medical isotopes, industrial isotopes, or non-weaponized nuclear applications.
- 02Criterion
Generic Defense Engineering
Defined as: Companies providing general military engineering or advisory services without a documented nuclear-weapons programme, system, facility, or component nexus.
- 03Criterion
Academic, Policy, Arms-Control, or Humanitarian Research
Defined as: Organizations conducting non-commercial, policy, compliance, medical, humanitarian, disarmament, or arms-control research without developing or supporting operational nuclear weapons.
- 04Criterion
Training and Operational Readiness Only
Defined as: Companies providing nuclear-force training, exercises, operational readiness, or educational services only. This screen is excluded per methodology instruction unless tied to covered R&D or engineering work.
- 05Criterion
Environmental Remediation or Cleanup Only
Defined as: Companies performing environmental remediation, cleanup, waste handling, or site restoration without materially supporting nuclear-weapons development or operation.
