Blockchain can prevent illegal nuclear trade?

Harvard College scientist believes that blockchain technology is a perfect way to control nuclear export

As Aaron Arnold, A Harvard Kennedy School researcher and an associate of the Project on Managing the Atom, states in his writing "Blockchain: A new aid to nuclear export controls?" there is a huge problem of unclear sanctions towards international nuclear trade, export and supplies which can be resolved by blockchain. 

He presumes that blockchain technology of smart contracts can be very useful for audit and to create well-protected, international logistical orders regarding nuclear resources and to protect them from unauthorized access.

Coalitions, like the Nuclear Suppliers Group, should start thinking now about blockchain and its implications for supply-side controls. This includes developing a firm understanding of the relationships between public and private sector implementations of blockchain, and the consequences for controlling nuclear and dual-use goods and technologies.

In future, blockchain technology can become a perfect solution to the issue of falsification and a source of preventing fraud as there will be no difficulty to trace the source of nuclear supplies.
