Description

The Global Politics of Combating Nuclear Terrorism: A Supply-Side Approach provides a deep look into one of the most significant security threats to the world today. This book examines the specific challenges terrorist organizations face when attempting to acquire the materials necessary to build nuclear weapons or improvised nuclear devices. At the center of this analysis is the issue of fissile material, specifically plutonium and highly enriched uranium (HEU). The text explains why obtaining HEU, which is uranium processed to contain more than 20% of the U-235 isotope, represents the most difficult hurdle for any state or non-state actor. Readers will gain an understanding of the global security risks posed by large stocks of HEU currently used in civilian sectors. Because many of these stocks are not adequately protected, they remain a primary concern for international safety. This publication is an essential resource for those studying military history and the complex political landscape of nuclear security.
