Nuclear Insecurity is an insider's account of official American
efforts to prevent the theft or diversion of nuclear and
radiological weapons that could be used by rogue nations or
terrorist groups. This perspective draws heavily from the author's
work on the White House National Security Council Staff
(1996-2000), where he was directly responsible to President Clinton
for the development of U.S. nuclear material security policies and,
subsequently, at the U.S. Department of Energy, where he directed
the department's largest international nuclear security program,
focused primarily on Russia. In Caravelli's assessment, despite
exceptional bipartisan political support and very high funding
levels that have reached over $9 billion, a series of policy
mistakes and programmatic bureaucratic missteps have badly
compromised the United States government's efforts to protect
against the spread of nuclear weapons and materials. The most
striking example of the current situation is that the U.S.
government, some 12 years after the start of these programs, still
has failed to enhance the security of more than 300 metric tons of
nuclear materials in Russia alone, enough to make hundreds of
nuclear devices. The book concludes with recommendations and policy
prescriptions for addressing some of these problems.
