The Four Faces of Nuclear Terrorism, a new book from the Center for
Nonproliferation Studies, assesses the motivations and capabilities
of terrorist organizations to acquire and use nuclear weapons, to
fabricate and detonate crude nuclear explosives, to strike nuclear
power plants and other nuclear facilities, and to build and employ
radiological weapons or dirty bombs. The authors maintain that
there is a greater likelihood today than any time in the past three
decades that nuclear weapons will actually be used. This stark
assessment is based upon two premises: 1) Non-state actors have
emerged who seek nuclear weapons in order to use them and 2) Crude
but real nuclear weapons, as distinct from radiological dispersal
devices, are well within the technical reach of some terrorist
organizations. The authors urge the United States and its
international partners to take immediate steps to prevent the most
catastrophic forms of nuclear terrorism and to reduce the
consequences of the most likely nuclear terror attacks. Russia;
securing, consolidating, and eliminating highly enriched uranium
globally; and providing for secure storage and disposal of
radioactive materials used in medicine, scientific research, and
industry. The book also stresses the need to educate the public on
the real risks of radiation exposure and radioactive contamination
to help psychologically immunize citizens against fear of
radiological attacks, which the authors conclude are all but
inevitable in the coming years.
