On 23 September, ONN Research Coordinator Nikita Degtyarev presented at the VCDNP Short Course “Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament” for diplomats in Vienna. The course brought together participants from 22 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Pacific, including representatives from one of the five nuclear-weapon states.

His presentation, “Understanding DPRK Nuclear Capabilities: Open-Source Analysis of the DPRK’s Nuclear Programme”, showed how open-source information can be used to better understand the DPRK’s nuclear programme, assess its capabilities and interpret related developments. 

Degtyarev also shared findings from the multi-year VERTIC-led Project on Open-Source Assessments of the DPRK’s Nuclear Programme, which concluded in March 2026, highlighting how open-source analysis can support greater understanding of nuclear developments and contribute to nuclear risk reduction.
