Nuclear Terrorism:
Threat Assessment and Nuclear Security Implications
The risk of nuclear terrorism remains very real.
Measures to secure nuclear weapons and the materials needed to make them are the most effective tools for reducing this risk.
The job of improving security for nuclear weapons and weapons-usable nuclear materials is never “done”.
Security must constantly evolve as the threat changes, technologies shift, and new vulnerabilities are revealed.
