WILPF: Reaching Critical Will- Compendium, News in Review: www.reachingcriticalwill.org/pubs/pubsindex.html
News in Review (NIR) was the daily six-page newsletter produced during the month-long NPT Review Conference by WILPF. News in Review intentionally broadened the debate to include NGO critique of energy, transport, mining and waste issues, in addition to weapon related concerns. This compendium collects the best of the News in Reviews, showing how the NPT is one of the most important routes through which change on the nuclear front will happen on weapons, but also energy, transport, mining and waste. The compendium invites and informs individuals and groups about getting involved in NGO activity in build up to the 2005 Review through information that is accessible, reproducible, and inspiring, containing useful one page lists, graphics, point form introductions and material chosen from NIR.

WILPF: Reaching Critical Will- Disarmament Education Kit: www.reachingcriticalwill.org/pubs/pubsindex.html
Designed for activists and educators to use when teaching about the nuclear fuel cycle, our Education Kit is divided into two parts, the first containing some notes on HOW to t each this depressing material and the second is a tool box of fact sheets, activities and games for use in the classroom or workshop. Divided into sections on mining, nuclear power, nuclear weapons and waste, this took kit is WILPF's contribution to the Governmental Expert Panel on Disarmament Education, set up by the 2000 General Assembly.
