Abstract
A Peer Review Group knowledgeable about game theory and safeguards was organized to assess the utility of strategic analysis for analyzing inventory differences in particular and safeguards events in general. The Peer Review Group concluded that game theory may provide a useful basis for arriving at safeguards decisions, and could be a complementary - not alternative - tool to statistical analysis. The Peer Review Group recoitmended further development of game theory in areas of potential application.
