how nuclear inspectors can inspect other countries nuclear weapon inventories and uranium refining abilities in a way that can be trusted and not just staged by the inspected country

Once a facility is built, the IAEA installs a variety of tools to track movements of radioactive materials within facilities which allows them to determine very precisely what is being done with the material. How much in, how much out, how fast, etc is all tracked using an array of sealed detectors and cameras. Data is collected and remotely accessed via tamper evident cabinets. Tamper evident cameras are also placed in key functional areas in the facility that would capture any nefarious activities. Once the monitoring equipment is in place it is basically impossible to use the facility in any way other than intended without them noticing. IAEA primarily relies on tamper *evident* methods as it is not their role to enforce compliance – just to analyze and identify.
