AB - We present in detail a quantitative Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) model of the use of aninformation barrier system during a nuclear arms control inspection, and an analysis of this model usingthe capabilities of a Satis ability Modulo Theory (SMT) solver. Arms control veri cation processes do notin practice allow the parties involved to gather complete information about each other, and therefore anymodel we use must be able to cope with the limited information, subjective assessment and uncertaintyin this domain. We have previously extended BBNs to allow this kind of uncertainty in parameter values(such as probabilities) to be re ected; theseconstrainedBBNs (cBBNs) o er the potential for more robustmodelling, which in that study we demonstrated with a simple information barrier model. We now presenta much more detailed model of a similar veri cation process, based on the technical capabilities anddeployment concept of the UK-Norway Initiative (UKNI) Information Barrier system, demonstrating thescalability of our previously-presented approach. We discuss facets of the model itself in detail, beforeanalysing pertinent questions of interest to give examples of the power of this approach.
