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 or 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.

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 control its movement during the imaging process.

(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 at 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 copy shall be signed by an inspector and an in-country escort and included in the monthly inspection report.

II. Methods of Use of Equipment

In order to verify technical data pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article XI of the Treaty, the Parties shall check the data at the sites designated by the inspected Party and shall use the equipment listed in Annex IV and this Annex. The Parties shall use the equipment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Parts A and C of Section III of Annex IV as well as in accordance with the following procedures.

A. Additional Procedures:

1. The inspection team shall deliver to an inspection site a sufficient quantity of weighing devices of the appropriate type capable of weighing any missile or launcher of the inspected Party subject to the Treaty.

2. If the inspected Party chooses to weigh a missile or missile stage by the suspension method, then the inspected Party shall connect the tension load cell to the lifting device and to the fixture attached to the missile or missile stage to be weighed. The inspected Party shall be permitted to connect its own tension load cell in series with the tension load cell of the inspecting Party so that both tension load cells measure the weight of the object simultaneously. Before a reading is taken, the inspection team shall ascertain that its tension load cell is bearing that object's entire weight.

3. During the process of weighing or determining the dimensions of a missile, stage of a missile, launcher, support structure or support equipment, it is permissible for the result of each measurement to deviate by not more than three percent from the relevant technical data provided pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article IX of the Treaty.

4. The inspection team shall be permitted continuous visual observation of its weighing devices and the object weighed throughout all the testing, calibrating and weighing processes.

5. Upon arrival of the inspection team at the inspection site where technical data is to be checked, the in-country escort shall indicate the specific places on each missile, stage of a missile, launcher, support structure or support equipment where measurements were taken to obtain the technical data provided pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article IX of the Treaty. If necessary, the in-country escort shall be permitted to use diagrams or sketches to indicate such places.

6. In order to check technical data with respect to the SS-20 missile:

(a) The inspected Party shall deliver a missile selected by the inspection team, contained in its launch canister, to a special enclosed area where the missile shall be removed from its launch canister and disassembled into stages.

(b) This enclosed area shall be located near the site where the inspection team selects the missile. The inspection team shall accompany the missile from the selection site to the enclosed area.

(c) The inspection team shall measure the length and diameter of the launch canister.

(d) The inspection team shall weigh the vehicle while it is carrying the SS-20 missile contained in its launch canister, and subsequently the inspection team shall weigh the vehicle without the missile and its launch canister. The weight of the SS-20 missile in the launch canister shall be calculated by taking the difference of the results of these two weight measurements. To check the result of weighing the SS-20 missile in the launch canister, the weight of the launch canister and the weights of the first and second stages obtained by means of the procedures set forth in subparagraph (f) below shall be added. The difference between the result of this addition and the result obtained from weighing the SS-20 missile in the launch canister must not exceed two metric tons. Otherwise, the inspection team shall be permitted to require repetition of the weighing process with a different SS-20 missile contained in its launch canister.

(e) After the removal of the SS-20 missile from its launch canister, the inspection team shall measure the length of the missile and the length of the missile's front section located at the measuring site.

(f) The inspected Party shall disassemble the SS-20 missile into stages, after which, along with the inspection team, it shall weigh the first and second stages of the missile as well as the launch canister. The inspection team shall measure the length and diameter of the first and second stages of the missile.

(g) The inspection team shall not observe directly the removal of the launch canister from the vehicle, the removal of the missile from its launch canister, or the disassembly of the missile into stages.

(h) Prior to each of the operations indicated in subparagraph (g) above, the inspection team shall inspect the enclosed area to ascertain that nothing is present in the enclosed area, including other missiles, stages of missiles, launch canisters or missile transporter vehicles, that could be used to distort the results of the weight and linear measurements.

(i) During each of the operations indicated in subparagraph (g) above, the inspection team shall observe continuously the fence enclosing the area in order to ascertain that nothing is brought into or removed from the enclosed area while these operations are taking place there.

B. Purpose of Linear Measurement Devices

1. Tape tensioning scales adjusted to a standard 5-kilogram load shall be used to place the measuring tape under tension.

2. Measuring tape clamps shall be used to hold the measuring tape firmly under tension.

3. String line levels and hand levels shall be used to establish necessary references to check that the measuring tape and the axis of the object are parallel.

4. Combination squares shall be used to establish perpendicular lines and to measure the height of small protrusions that could affect the results of diameter measurements.

5. Magnifying glasses shall be used to facilitate the precise determination of the data at the intersection of the measuring tape markings with the plumb bobs target points.

6. A three-section range rod shall be used to assist in measuring the height of an object.

7. Calipers with a micrometer screw shall be used to measure the width of small protrusions that could affect the results of diameter measurements.
