Are the international scientific community and the IAEA really incapable of providing indicators and criteria that would allow the international community to differentiate between two types of industrial operations? For example, forty years ago, when fear of nuclear proliferation was new, my teacher and friend Vassili Leontief, who invented the macroeconomic table of inter-industrial flows, argued that the best indicator of an illegal arms program is massive electricity consumption.
国际科学界和国际原子能机构果真就没有办法提供指标和标准，从而让国际社会区分这两种工业操作吗？例如，40年前，当人们刚刚开始担忧核子扩散的时候，我的老师和朋友、发明了产业间流向的宏观经济表格的雷昂迪耶夫主张，非法武器计划的最佳的指标就是大量的消耗电力。
