Division 7

In Phase II, following the initial visit to the ASS requiring immediate attention, a more detailed list of stations requiring future work will be identified. This list will be provided as a deliverable of Phase I and will include the details related to necessary replacement of equipment, backup power systems, security and infrastructure that are required to ensure that aging ASS are ready upon the entry into force of the CTBT. In this Phase, a series of targeted visits to the local authorities of ASS host countries will be undertaken to raise acknowledgement of their treaty responsibilities with respect to operation and maintenance of ASS and encourage the establishment of the required national support structure and resources.
