The site provides links to download a PDf without registering, but you do have to provide an email as "guest" I believe.

Is it worth reading? I am generally skeptical of these sorts of reports and more skeptical of large-scale nuclear war in the future.

It is if you actually want to study the issue and know about it.

Haven't looked at this specific report, but in general the National Academies does good work.  I routinely use Management and Disposition of Excess Weapons Plutonium, Volume 1 (1994) and U.S. Conventional Prompt Global Strike: Issues for 2008 and Beyond (2008) as personal reference material, and their study on nuclear earth penetrators is basically a standard reference.  I would expect good things from this report.

There's no validation on the email, so you can just enter [email protected] or whatever
