When a country builds a deterrent, it also needs to provide for effective security for the requisite nuclear facilities. The storage sites of warheads must be protected, as must the ports where submarines berth and the docks where they are maintained and refurbished. Communications centers/equipment, command centers, nuclear labs, nuclear production facilities and so on all must be protected from intrusions, sabotage, infiltration and conventional attack.
How is such protection organized and how much effort (money and personnel) does it require? |
