Nuclear black market

ROLF MOWATT-LARSEN and WILLIAM H TOBEY, fellows at Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs analyze the pattern of seizures of nuclear material in the past seven years to state that elimination of the global nuclear black market been given its due because of a lack of international co-operation, organizational failures and skepticism among experts of the plausibility of nuclear terrorism. In an opinion piece for the Belfer Center, "The Armageddon Test: To Prevent Nuclear Terrorism, Follow the Uranium", they call for greater urgency and an international consensus on the nuclear threat, deeper co-operation among national intelligence and law enforcement agencies alongwith more teeth to the IAEA to eliminate the nuclear black market.
