Watches are determined by the Nobel Prize winners and global experts, and by the science and security committee of atomic scientists. Their decisions are based on scientific data, briefing, and global risk evaluation.
The time of the watch is re -evaluated every year by the science and security committee, and consults with the Nobel Prize winner.
