shall be completed within five days after the date agreed for its initiation.
(c) During the examination referred to in subparagraph (b) above,
as well as during subsequent examinations of radiation detection devices,
the inspected Party shall be permitted in the presence of the inspecting
Party to dismantle partially such devices and examine them using non-damaging
methods. Such examination must not impair the capability of the radiation
detection devices to perform functions connected with the inspection
requirements of the Treaty. Prior to departing the point of entry to
conduct benchmark radiation measurements or an inspection, the inspecting
Party shall be permitted to test the radiation detection devices to
be used to establish that their capability to perform functions connected
with the inspection requirements of the Treaty has not been impaired
by the inspected Party's examination of the radiation detection devices.
(d) Except as specified in subparagraph (f) below, any additional
radiation detection device delivered to the point of entry for the purpose
of conducting benchmark radiation measurements or inspections shall
be subject to examination within five days in accordance with the procedures
set forth in subparagraph (c) above and shall be stored at the point
of entry for use in conducting benchmark radiation measurements or inspections.
These devices shall be stored in tamper-proof containers, provided by
the inspecting Party within a dual-key secure facility pursuant to paragraph
4 of Section V of the Protocol on Inspection. The inspection team shall
be permitted to bring replacement batteries and a neutron calibration
source into the point of entry for use during each inspection and these
shall be examined pursuant to paragraph 4 of section V of the Protocol
on Inspection.
(e) The inspecting Party shall be permitted to commence the process
of conducting benchmark radiation measurements within 48 hours after
completion of the examination referred to in subparagraph (b) above.
(f) The radiation detection devices stored at the point of entry,
as required by subparagraph (a) above and pursuant to subparagraph (d)
above, shall be used for conducting inspections in accordance with section
VII of the Protocol on Inspection. The inspecting Party shall store
no fewer than two radiation detection devices, the use of which is permitted
pursuant to subparagraph (a) above and which have been examined pursuant
to subparagraph (b) or (d) above, in the tamper-proof containers referred
to in subparagraph (d) above. Upon arrival of the inspection team at
the point of entry to conduct an inspection pursuant to paragraph 3,
4 or 5 of Article XI of the Treaty, the inspection team shall be permitted
to examine, in the presence of the in-country escort, the tamper-proof
containers in which the radiation detection devices are stored, and
the devices in those containers, for a period not to exceed four hours:
(i) If the inspection team determines that the containers for at least
one of the radiation detection devices have not been tampered with,
and that this device is functioning properly then this device shall
be used for conducting the inspection.
(ii) If either Party determines that the containers for all stored
radiation detection devices have been tampered with, then a radiation
detection device brought into the point of entry by the inspection team
and examined by the inspected Party according to paragraph 4 of Section
V of the Protocol on Inspection shall be used for conducting the inspection.
(iii) If either Party determines that all containers that have not
been tampered with contain devices that are not functioning properly,
then a radiation detection device brought into the point of entry by
the inspection team and examined by the inspected Party shall be used
for conducting the inspection. In this case, the time for specification
of the site to be inspected provided pursuant to paragraph 1(a)(iii)
of Section IV of the Protocol on Inspection shall be delayed, if necessary,
until the inspected Party completes its examination of the radiation
detection device brought into the point of entry by the inspection team.
In no case shall that delay exceed 12 hours or require the inspection
team to delay the date and time for specification of the site to be
inspected beyond the 24-hour limit set forth in paragraph 2(a) of Section
IV of the Protocol on Inspection. Once the inspected Party completes
its examination of the radiation detection device brought into the point
of entry by the inspection team, the inspection team shall provide,
within the above-mentioned 24-hour time limit, the inspected Party with
a new date and time for specification of the site to be inspected.
(g) If there is no evidence that containers have been tampered with,
and the radiation detection device stored in them is not functioning
properly, then the inspecting Party shall return this device and its
containers to the territory of the inspecting Party and inform the inspected
Party of the cause of the malfunction and measures taken to preclude
such malfunctions in the future. If a radiation detection device brought
into the point of entry by the inspection team is not used for conducting
the inspection, then it shall be stored at the point of entry in tamper-proof
containers and removed from the territory of the inspected Party by
the inspecting Party once the inspection has been completed.
13. In order to ensure that the inspecting Party is able to exercise
its right at a continuous monitoring inspection site to install and
operate a permanent continuous monitoring system pursuant to paragraph
6 of Article XI of the Treaty and paragraph 4 of Section IX of the Protocol
on Inspection, the Parties agree that:
(a) During the installation of equipment at a continuous monitoring

3. The Parties agree that, prior to use by an inspection
team of the radiation detection device, the Parties
shall agree on additional characteristics of that
device.
III. Methods of Use of Equipment
A. The Parties agree to use linear measurement devices in the
following manner:
1. Linear measurement devices shall be used to determine
length, width and height of objects by measuring the
straight-line distance between the extreme points of
such objects or, if it shall be required, between
tangents drawn perpendicular to the direction of
measurement from the outside points of curved surfaces.
2. The diameter of a missile, a missile stage or any other
cylindrical object shall be determined by measuring the
circumference, by directly measuring the diameter, or by
measuring the distance between parallel lines that are
vertical tangents to the cylindrical surface of the
object and that lie in a plane perpendicular to the
axis of the object. Such measurements shall be taken at
several points along the length of that object.
3. In determining the dimensions of an object, each
dimension shall be measured at least two times. If the
results of the first two measurements are within one
percent of each other, then the results of these two
measurements shall be averaged to determine the
dimension of the object. If the results of the first two
measurements are not within one percent of each other,
additional measurements shall be taken until results
from two measurements are obtained that are within one
percent of each other. The results of these two
measurements shall be averaged to determine the
dimension of the object.
B. The Parties agree to use cameras in the following manner:
1. The Parties understand the phrase "camera systems which
are capable of producing duplicate, instant development
photographic prints contained in paragraph 9 of Section
VI of the Protocol on Inspection, to allow the use of
one camera mounted on a tripod and the taking of two
photographs in sequence with that camera.
2. The Parties agree that before the inspected Party takes
photographs, one copy of which shall be given to each of
the Parties, the inspected Party shall be permitted to
take test photographs that shall be the property of the
inspected Party.
3. The Parties agree that photographs taken during an
inspection shall show a range rod next to the object or
building being photographed.
4. The Parties understand that the procedures agreed upon
with respect to the taking of photographs shall apply at
all inspection sites, including at continuous monitoring
inspection sites.
C. The Parties agree to use portable weighing devices in the
following manner:
1. The inspected Party shall facilitate the inspection
team's use of the portable weighing devices.
2. Before weighing an object during an inspection, the
inspected Party shall be permitted to test and calibrate
the portable weighing devices of the inspecting Party by
using them to weigh its own calibrated reference load.
3. The equipment of the inspected Party shall be used to
lift the object being weighed and to position it on the
portable weighing devices. The inspected Party shall
operate such equipment.
4. In determining the weight of an object first a test
weighing of the object shall be conducted. Then that
object shall be weighed two times. If the results of
these two weight measurements are within two percent of
each other then the results of these two measurements
shall be averaged to determine the weight of the
object. If the results of these two weight measurements
are not within two percent of each other, the portable
weighing devices shall be calibrated and the object
shall be weighed two more times. If after this the
difference between the results of the two weight
measurements still exceeds two percent, then the
portable weighing devices shall be replaced and the
weighing procedures shall be repeated.
5. The inspection team shall be permitted continuous visual
observation of portable weighing devices, calibrated
reference loads and the object weighed throughout all
testing, calibrating and weighing processes.
6. If weighing is done by the compression method using the
portable weighing devices listed in Section I of this
Annex, then the inspected Party shall position the
object being weighed on the portable weighing devices.
Before taking any reading from a portable weighing
device, the inspection team shall ascertain that
the entire weight of the object being weighed is borne
by the platform of the portable weighing device, or in
the case of the use of several devices, that the entire
weight of the object being weighed is borne by the
platforms of those portable weighing devices. If the
object being weighed is a launcher or other vehicle,
then before the inspected Party positions that launcher
or other vehicle on the portable weighing devices, it
shall ensure that the tires are inflated to the maximum
air pressure for which the tires are designed.
7. If while weighing an object by the compression method
using the portable weighing devices listed in Section I
of this Annex more than one portable weighing device is
used, the weight of the object shall be determined by
adding together the readings indicated on all portable
weighing devices. To the extent possible, the readings
of all portable weighing devices shall be taken
simultaneously.
8. If the inspected Party decides that an object must be
weighed on a weight-bearing device, then it shall be
weighed together with the weight-bearing device, and
then removed from it. Then the weight-bearing device
shall be weighed separately. The weight of the object
shall be determined by taking the difference of the
results of these two weight measurements.
D. Radiation Detection Devices
1. The Parties agree to use the radiation detection devices
of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in the
following manner:
Prior to the use of radiation detection devices, the Parties
shall agree on the methods of use of the devices.
2. The Parties agree to use the radiation detection devices
of the United States of America in the following manner:
(a) Radiation detection devices shall be used to
measure fast neutron flux intensity emanating from
a launch canister associated with a type of missile
not subject to the Treaty and declared by the
inspected Party to contain such a missile.
(b) Prior to the use of radiation detection devices
during inspections, benchmark radiation
measurements shall be taken. Such measurements
shall be taken on two SS-20 missiles and two SS-25
missiles contained in their respective launch
canisters. Benchmark radiation measurements shall
be taken on launch canisters chosen by the
inspecting Party from nine launch canisters of each
type presented by the inspected Party. These
measurements shall be used to determine that the
fast neutron fluxes associated with these systems
differ significantly in both level and contour
patterns. The results of each benchmark radiation
measurement on the SS-25 missile shall be used as
the basis for comparison with the result of the
corresponding measurement taken during inspections
conducted pursuant to paragraph 3, 4, 5 of Article
XI of the Treaty.
(c) Before taking benchmark radiation measurements, the
radiation detection devices shall be calibrated
using a standard neutron source. For the SS-20 and
SS-25 missiles contained in their respective launch
canisters, benchmark radiation measurements shall
be taken by the inspected Party on a horizontal
plane located at a distance no greater than 0.5
meter below the launch canister, itself in a
horizontal position. The area of this horizontal
plane for both the SS-20 and the SS-25 missiles
contained in their respective launch canisters
shall be that portion of a four-meter-by-four-meter
plane that can, considering the physical
limitations of the type of launcher involved in the
measurement, be utilized for the taking of such
measurements. The center of this horizontal plane
shall be located below the axis of the launch
canister at a point corresponding to the joint
between the front cover of the launch canister and
its body near the location of maximum neutron flux.
(d) Benchmark radiation measurements for both the SS-20
and the SS-25 missiles contained in their
respective launch canisters shall be taken:
(i) at the 57 points accessible for both the SS-20
and SS-25 missiles contained in their
respective launch canisters at the junctions
of a 0.5-meter grid on the four-meter-by-four-
meter plane described in subparagraph (c)
above, and at up to 24 additional points on
this plane at positions to be agreed by the
Parties during the taking of such
measurements;
(ii) at 0.5-meter intervals along the top of the
cylindrical portion of the launch canister
from the location of the joint of the front
cover of the launch canister and its body to
a point located at a distance of
approximately-six meters from the front of the
launch canister (a total of nine points); and
(iii) along a vertical line located to the left side
of the launch canister in the plane of the
joint between the front cover of the launch
canister and its body, perpendicular to the
horizontal plane on which measurements were
taken, and no more than 0.5 meter from the
launch canister (a total of seven points).
(e) Two readings shall be taken at each point. If the
higher reading differs by more than 30 percent from
the lower reading, then a third reading shall be
taken. If the third reading differs from each of
the two previous readings by more than 30 percent,
then the radiation detection device shall be
recalibrated. The average of two readings that are
within 30 percent of each other and whose values
are closest to each other shall be recorded as the
measurement for that point. The result of the
benchmark radiation measurement for that point
shall be the average of the corresponding
measurements for the two missiles of each type
selected for measuring.
(f) For the entire period during which the benchmark
radiation measurements are being taken, the
inspecting Party shall be permitted to observe the
measurement process to assure itself that the
process corresponds to the agreed procedures.
Recording, processing, and graphic representation
of data shall be carried out jointly by the
Parties.
(g) upon completion of the measurements on two SS-20
missiles and two SS-25 missiles contained in their
respective launch canisters, the inspecting Party
shall select one SS-20 missile launch canister and
one SS-25 missile launch canister to be opened. The
inspecting Party, by visual observation, shall
confirm that the corresponding type of missile is
located in each launch canister.
(h) The results of the benchmark radiation measurements
shall be signed by both Parties and each of the
Parties shall retain one copy. If the results of
the benchmark radiation measurements confirm that
the fast neutron fluxes associated with the SS-20
and the SS-25 missiles contained in their
respective launch canisters differ sufficiently
from each other in both level and contour patterns,
then the result of each benchmark radiation
measurement on the SS-25 missile shall be used as
the basis for comparison with the result of the
corresponding measurement taken during inspections
conducted pursuant to paragraph 3, 4 or 5 of
Article XI of the Treaty.
(i) Before taking measurements during an inspection
conducted pursuant to paragraph 3, 4 or 5 of
Article XI of the Treaty, the radiation detection
devices shall be calibrated using a standard
neutron source, and then measurements shall be
taken on a horizontal plane whose location
corresponds to the location of the horizontal
plane described in subparagraph (c) above. Such
measurements shall be taken on that plane at up to
ten points chosen by the inspection team such
points shall be selected from points common to the
benchmark radiation measurements taken on the SS-20
and SS-25 missiles on the four-meter-by-four-meter
horizontal plane. In addition, measurements shall
be taken at up to four points along the top of the
cylindrical portion of the launch canister from the
location of the joint of the front cover of the
launch canister and its body to a point located at
a distance of approximately six meters from the
front of the launch canister.
(j) Two readings shall be taken at each point. If the
higher reading differs by more than 30 percent from
the lower reading, then a third reading shall be
taken. If the third reading differs from each of
the two previous readings by more than 30 percent,
then the radiation detection device shall be
recalibrated. The average of two readings that are
within 30 percent of each other and whose values
are closest to each other shall be recorded as the
measurement for that point.
(k) If during an inspection conducted pursuant to
paragraph 3, 4 or 5 of Article XI of the Treaty the
result of each measurement obtained for a
particular launch canister differs by not more than
50 percent from the result of the corresponding
benchmark radiation measurement on the SS-25
missile contained in its launch canister, then the
missile shall not be considered to be a missile
subject to the Treaty.
(l) If during an inspection conducted pursuant to
paragraph 3, 4 or 5 of Article XI of the Treaty the
result of any measurement differs from the result
of the corresponding benchmark radiation
measurement on the SS-25 missile contained in its
launch canister by more than 50 percent, then the
launch canister shall be opened by the inspected
Party in order that the inspecting Party be able to
confirm by visual observation of the interior
portion that the missile inside the launch canister
is not a missile subject to the Treaty. In any
event, after the radiation detection measurements
are taken on all launch canisters subject to
inspection at the inspection site, the inspection
team shall select one launch canister that must be
opened by the inspected Party in order that the
inspecting Party be able to confirm by visual
observation of the interior portion that the
missile inside the launch canister is not a missile
subject to the Treaty. The Parties shall agree on
specific visual observation procedures that permit
this confirmation. Until such time as the Parties
agree to such procedures, they shall, during the
conduct of inspections using radiation detection
devices, use, on all missile launch canisters
opened for visual observation of their interior
portion, both visual observation methods
demonstrated during the taking of benchmark
radiation measurements, that is, the removal of the
front cover of the SS-25 launch canister and the
opening of the portholes in the front section of
the SS-25 launch canister.

opened, at the continuous monitoring inspection site at Votkinsk:
1. Vehicle dimensional measuring equipment:
Infrared profiler equipment shall be installed along both
sides of the rail and roadway at the portal and along both sides of
the roadway at the exit. Vehicles shall travel on the rail or
roadway along gin infrared profiler at a speed not to exceed ten
kilometers per hour. The infrared profiler shall make dimensional
measurements of the vehicle, which shall be transmitted to the Data
Collection Center for recording.
2. Weight sensors:
If weight is used as an inspection criterion pursuant to
paragraph 12 of Part G of Section III of this Memorandum, then
weighing devices shall be installed in accordance with the
following requirements and the following procedures shall be used:
(a) Road vehicle single-axle, weigh-in-motion scales
shall be installed in the roadway at the portal

(b) Road vehicle leaving the continuous monitoring
inspection site shall cross the scale platform at
a speed not to exceed ten kilometers per hour.
Measurement of vehicle weight shall be made
automatically and transmitted to the Data
Collection Center for analysis and recording.
(c) Portable scales shall be used on the roadway in the
event that the primary weighing devices, that is,
single-axle weigh-in-motion scales, are
inoperative. The inspectors shall place these
scales on the roadway in front of the vehicle to be
weighed, and the vehicle shall be driven onto the
scales. Vehicle weight shall be determined by
adding the reading of all portable scales. Data
shall be recorded by entering it manually into the
Data Collection Center system.
(d) The inspecting Party shall be permitted to install
fixed scales for weighing railcars on the rail
spur. The rail scales to be installed and operating
procedures for them shall be agreed upon by the
Parties.
3. Non-damaging image producing equipment:
(a) The non-damaging image producing equipment shall be
installed along a rail spur and shall be used to
image the contents of launch canisters declared to
contain a missile as large or larger than and as
heavy or heavier than an SS-20 missile. The
inspection team shall be permitted to calibrate the
non-damaging image producing equipment daily.
(b) Imaging procedures:
(i) The inspected Party, having implemented the
procedures contained in subparagraphs (c)(ii)
and (c)(iii) below, shall ensure that the
inspecting party receives an image of the top
and bottom of the missile along the entire
cylindrical length of the second stage of an
SS-25 missile (307 centimeters), plus 25
centimeters on the side where the imaging
begins and 7 centimeters on the opposite side.
The image obtained shall be limited to the
areas between the top and bottom of the outer
surface of the launch canister and lines 69.5
centimeters on either side of the missile
center line. The inspected Party assures the
inspecting Party that the image described
above meets the following conditions:
- The image obtained shall show the four
points where the curvatures of the end
sections of the Ss-25 missile second
stage motor casing intersect with the
lines 69.5 centimeters on either side of
the missile center line.
- The end points of the cylindrical portion
of the second stage of the SS-25 missile
and the points of intersection referred
to above shall not appear at the extreme
edges of the image obtained, where the
quality of the image may be poor. The
image obtained shall be sufficient to
compensate for uncertainties in the
position of the missile inside the
railcar.
(ii) The boundaries of the zone irradiated by the
non-damaging image producing equipment shall
be monitored by both the inspected Party and
the inspecting Party. Within three months
after installation of the non-damaging image
producing equipment at the continuous
monitoring inspection site at Votkinsk, the
Parties shall complete testing of ionization
chambers and thermoluminescent sensors as
potential detector systems for monitoring the
boundaries of the zone irradiated by the non-
damaging image producing equipment installed
at the site. If the Parties do not agree on
one or the other of these two detector systems
for monitoring the boundaries of the zone
irradiated by the non-damaging image producing
equipment, the Parties shall be permitted to
use both detector systems. The inspected Party
shall be permitted to use a shielding device
to exclude from irradiation those portions of
the missile which are not referred to above.
If the imaged zone exceeds the zone described
in subparagraph (b)(i) above, the inspection
team, under the observation of the inspected
Party, shall erase from the memory of the
non-damaging image producing equipment the
information received and shall repeat the
procedures for imaging the contents of the
launch canister. Such cases shall be explained
and documented in the monthly inspection
report. The Parties agree to the following
procedures for the use of the detection
system:
- The detectors shall normally be kept in
a tamper-resistant container under the
control of both Parties at the portal
monitoring area.
- Prior to the use of detectors during the
imaging of the contents of a launch
canister, all detectors shall be set to
a zero reading, and an inspector and an
in-country escort shall confirm that the
readings are zero. In addition, two
detectors shall be selected at random,
exposed to a predetermined radiation
level, and read by both Parties to ensure
the calibration of the detectors.
- The inspected Party shall place detectors
on the railcar in the presence of the
inspection team immediately prior to each
imaging of the contents of a launch
canister. The identifying number of each
detector and its location on the railcar
shall be recorded.
- The inspected Party shall place the
detectors on the exterior of the railcar
on the side closest to the x-ray source
at locations inside and outside of the
area to be imaged. Some detectors shall
be placed on the railcar in positions
where background radiation levels can be
determined during the imaging process.
- After each imaging of the contents of a
launch canister, the inspected Party
shall remove the detectors from the
railcar and shall move them to the
reading area.
- Both Parties then shall read all
thermoluminescent detectors jointly.
Ionization chamber readings shall be done
sequentially, first by the inspected
Party, then by the inspection team.
- Readings shall be included in the monthly
inspection report only in cases where
detector readings necessitate repeating
the procedures for imaging the contents
of a launch canister.
(iii) The non-damaging image producing equipment
shall not be switched on, either in an
operational or test mode, without prior
notification of the inspected Party. The
inspected Party shall be permitted to measure
by an independent method, using its own
equipment, the power characteristics, of the
x-ray irradiation, and shall be permitted to
confirm the times when the irradiation device
is turned on and off. The inspected Party
shall be permitted to conduct such
measurements during installation, testing,
calibration and imaging of the contents of a
launch canister, provided that these
measurements do not interfere with the quality
of the image, as specified above.
(c) Preparations for use of non-damaging image
producing equipment:
(i) Prior to imaging the contents of a launch
canister, the inspection team, in the presence
of the inspected Party, shall calibrate the
equipment. If the equipment is faulty, the
inspection team shall make appropriate
adjustments and repairs, as necessary. If the
equipment cannot be repaired within four
hours, then the vehicle shall be permitted to
leave through the portal without imaging
procedures being conducted, unless the
malfunction is due to force majeure or to
actions of the inspected Party. in such cases,
the vehicle shall not be permitted to leave
the continuous monitoring inspection site
until the equipment is repaired.
(ii) The inspected Party shall affix markers to
points on the outside of the railcar to
designate the vertical boundaries of the area
to be irradiated. These markers shall be used
to determine where the x-ray beam is turned on
and off.
(iii) The inspected Party shall provide data to the
inspection team for adjusting the x-ray
detector array. Based on the data provided by
the inspected Party, the inspection team, in
the presence of the inspected Party, shall
adjust the height of the x-ray detector array
so that it will image only the area permitted
pursuant to subparagraph (b)(i) above. The
inspected Party shall confirm that the
proper adjustments have been made.
(d) Procedures for use of non-damaging image producing
equipment:
(i) The inspected Party shall open the railcar,
containing the launch canister whose contents
are to be imaged, for inspection of the
interior of the railcar. Before opening the
railcar, the inspected Party, at its
discretion, shall be permitted to move the
railcar into the inspection building. The
inspection team shall observe visually the
interior of this railcar, and measure the
length and diameter of the launch canister
contained therein. Then the inspected Party
shall close the railcar.
(ii) The inspected Party shall move the railcar
into position for attachment to the transport
system associated with the non-damaging image
producing equipment.
(iii) The inspection team shall attach the railcar
to the transport system and shall thereafter

(iv) During the movement of the railcar past the
non-damaging image producing equipment, the
inspection team shall turn on the x-ray beam
when the first marker affixed pursuant to
subparagraph (c)(ii) above moves into the
field of view of the sensing device and shall
turn off the x-ray beam when the second marker
moves into the field of view of the sensing
device.
(v) If the agreed area of the SS-25 missile is not
contained in the image obtained, the
inspection team shall move the railcar back to
the starting point and repeat the steps set
forth above. If the inspection team determines
that the image obtained is too poor to
ascertain whether an SS-20 missile is inside
the launch canister, the inspection team shall
be permitted to check to ensure that the
equipment is operating properly. This shall be
done on the basis of objective criteria that
shall be established jointly by the Parties
upon installation of the non-damaging image
producing equipment. If the equipment is
working properly, the inspection team shall
move the railcar to the starting position and
repeat the steps set forth above. If the
equipment is not working properly and
cannot be repaired in four hours, the railcar
shall be permitted to leave the continuous
monitoring inspection site without repeating
the procedures for imaging. Such cases shall
be explained and documented in the monthly
inspection report.
(vi) Images shall be displayed on a video screen
and permanently stored at the portal. Two
paper copies of each image shall be made. Each
