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:

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.

Oral directions by inspectors, including directions for a vehicle to stop for inspection purposes, shall be communicated to the vehicle driver through the in-country escort.

(a) At the portal, the semaphore gate immediately in front of the main gate normally shall be in the closed position and the corresponding traffic light shall normally be red. All other semaphore gates normally shall be open and all other traffic lights normally shall be green. Whenever a vehicle leaves through the portal, the inspection team shall ensure that the area enclosed by the semaphore gates is clear of other vehicles. Then the semaphore gates that are open shall be closed, and the semaphore gate at the main gate shall be opened. Similarly, the traffic lights that are normally green will turn red, and the traffic light at the main gate will turn green. It shall be the responsibility of the inspection team to return the semaphore gates and traffic lights to their normal positions at the completion of the inspection procedures set forth in paragraph 6 below.

(b) At the exit, the semaphore gates normally shall, be in a closed position and the traffic lights normally shall be red.

It shall be the responsibility of the inspection team to control the semaphore gates and switch the traffic lights to allow a vehicle to enter and leave the exit monitoring area and to return the semaphore gates and traffic lights to their normal position at the completion of the inspection procedures described in paragraph 6 below.

5. All vehicles leaving the continuous monitoring inspection site shall travel through the portal monitoring area or the exit monitoring area at a speed not to exceed ten kilometers per hour.

6. Inspection procedures for vehicles:

(a) The dimensions of all vehicles leaving the continuous monitoring inspection site shall be measured as they pass through the portal monitoring area or the exit monitoring area.

(b) All railcars whose length is less than 14.00 meters and all road vehicles with a cargo section whose length is less than 14.00 meters leaving the continuous monitoring inspection site shall be allowed unimpeded passage through the semaphore gates.

(c) All railcars whose length is equal to or greater than 14.00 meters and all road vehicles with a cargo section whose length is equal to or greater than 14.00 meters that leave the continuous monitoring inspection site and that are not declared by the inspected Party to contain a missile as large or larger than and as heavy or heavier than an SS-20 missile shall be subject to inspection of their interior in accordance with paragraph 13 of Section IX of the Protocol on Inspection. The procedures currently in effect at the continuous monitoring inspection site at Votkinsk, which are based on the agreed minute of May 12, 1988, will continue to be carried out. As indicated in that minute, no charge whose dimensions are equal to or greater than the dimensions of the SS-20 missile without its front section but less than the dimensions of the SS-20 launch canister shall be shipped out of the continuous monitoring inspection site at Votkinsk, and in the context of this assurance the United States of America will not be inspecting any cargo of a length in that range. In order to ensure the implementation of that agreed minute, the United States of America shall, as before, have access for visual observation and dimensional measurement of cargoes inside the interior portion of any vehicle, with the exception of that portion which can contain only a cargo whose length is less than 14.0 meters. Any cargo, except for an SS-25 missile, a missile the Russian Federation has declared as the "Start" space launch vehicle, a missile the Russian Federation has declared as the "Start-1" space launch vehicle, a missile the Russian Federation has declared as the RS-12M, Variant 2 ICBM for Silo Launcher, a missile the Russian Federation has declared as the RS-12M, Variant 2 ICBM for Road-Mobile Launcher, or an empty launch canister of any such missile, that is shipped out in a vehicle whose dimensions are equal to or greater than the dimensions of an SS-20 launch canister shall be separated inside the vehicle compartment by partitions and the length of the vehicle compartment so separated by partitions shall always exclude the possibility of placing in it a cargo whose length is equal to or greater than 14.00 meters. In order to be convinced of this, the U.S. inspectors shall have the right to carry out linear measurements of the interior portions of any vehicle which can contain a cargo whose length is equal to or greater than 14.00 meters. At the discretion of the inspected Party, the inspection team shall be permitted to carry out the inspection in the inspection building.[21]

(d) A vehicle leaving the continuous monitoring inspection site that is declared by the inspected Party to contain a missile as large or larger than and as heavy or heavier than an SS-20 missile shall proceed to the portal monitoring area, where the inspection team shall be permitted to observe visually the interior of the vehicle, measure the dimensions of the launch canister or shipping container contained therein, and image the contents of the launch canister or shipping container in accordance with paragraph 3 of Part A of Section III of this Annex. In this same area, the inspected Party shall open the front end of the launch canister or cover of the shipping container at the request of the inspection team, as provided for in paragraph 14(c) of Section IX of the Protocol on Inspection, so that the inspectors may observe visually the missile contained therein and measure the length and diameter of its second stage in accordance with paragraph 4 of Part A of Section III of this Annex.

(e) If the inspection team determines that a vehicle at the exit meets the criteria set forth in paragraph 2 above, then it shall be permitted to direct such a vehicle to the portal.

(f) The provisions of subparagraph (c) above supersede the Agreed Statement of December 8, 1988.[22]

7. Until the inspecting Party installs infrared vehicle dimensional measuring equipment in the portal monitoring area or the exit monitoring area, all dimensional measurements of vehicles shall be performed manually at that monitoring area. As required by the inspection team, all vehicles leaving the continuous monitoring inspection site shall stop in the portal monitoring area or in the exit monitoring area for this purpose.

8. Should automatic dimensional measuring equipment at the portal or exit fail to operate properly, all dimensional measurements of vehicles shall be performed manually at that location.

9. All recorded data intended for use in the monthly inspection report shall be signed by an inspector and an in-country escort.

10. The Parties agree that railcars that would be subject to inspection shall be permitted to leave the continuous monitoring inspection site for the purpose of reversing direction, provided that the following procedures are used:

(a) The inspected Party notifies the inspection team leader of its intent to move a railcar out through the portal for the purpose of reversing its direction no less than 30 minutes before the railcar arrives at the portal.

(b) Two inspectors accompany the railcar from the time it arrives at the portal until it returns through the portal after having reversed direction and such inspectors are permitted to observe this railcar throughout the entire procedure.

(c) No cargo is removed from the railcar between the time it leaves through the portal until it returns through the portal.

Provided that the entire procedure for reversing direction is completed without delay, such railcars shall not be subject to inspection pursuant to Section IX of the Protocol on Inspection during the conduct of this procedure.

III. Methods of Use of Equipment: General Procedures for the Operation of the Equipment

A. General procedures for the United States of America for the operation of the equipment at the portal and at other exits, if 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 monitoring area and at the exit monitoring area.

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

(vii) All images taken and the results of all measurements shall be included in the monthly inspection report.

4. System for measuring the length and diameter of the second stage of the SS-25 missile:
