The world is awash in weapons-grade nuclear materials, and terrorists are intent on using some to build a nuclear weapon. Scientists and engineers are pursuing a multi-pronged strategy to eliminate the threat by securing nuclear stockpiles, detecting the movement of unsecured radioactive materials, tracking the terrorists, and disarming the weapons before they are used.
