The postwar period saw increased interest in the idea of relatively
easy-to-manufacture but devastatingly lethal radiological munitions
whose use would not discriminate between civilian and military
targets. Death Dust explores the largely unknown history of the
development of radiological weapons (RW)—weapons designed to
disperse radioactive material without a nuclear
detonation—through a series of comparative case studies across
the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Iraq, and
Egypt. The authors illuminate the historical drivers of and
impediments to radiological weapons innovation. They also examine
how new, dire geopolitical events—such as the war in
Ukraine—could encourage other states to pursue RW and analyze the
impact of the spread of such weapons on nuclear deterrence and the
nonproliferation regime. Death Dust presents practical, necessary
steps to reduce the likelihood of a resurgence of interest in and
pursuit of radiological weapons by state actors.
