The most likely means of delivering a nuclear bomb on a major city is through a successful smuggling effort by a terrorist organization. The catastrophic damage it would cause demands cooperative action by all responsible governments. Several U.S. Government programs are in place to deal with this threat. They focus on: Measures to prevent access by terrorist groups to fissile material, particularly enriched uranium and plutonium, the basic fuel for nuclear bombs. Measures to strengthen international institutions to enable governments to deal more effectively with illicit trade in fissile materials and in equipment that can produce such materials. Measures to enhance international cooperation in intelligence sharing and law enforcement. Cooperative international defense activities designed to intercept illegal trafficking in fissile materials and equipment to produce these materials. Strengthening the capacity to monitor and detect illicit shipments of fissionable materials at entry points into the United States and, in cooperation with other countries, at key transportation nodes overseas.

The Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA) is a multi-layered system of detection technol., programs, and guidelines designed to enhance the nation¿s ability to detect and prevent a radiological or nuclear attack. Among its components are existing programs in nuclear detection operated by other fed. agencies and new programs put into place by the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO). Contents of this report: (1) Intro.: Fed. Efforts; DNDO; (2) What is the GNDA?: Layered Defense; Methodology and Metrics for Eval¿n.; Priority Setting; Interagency Coord¿n.; (3) Priorities and Funding Levels Within the GNDA; Balance Between Incremental and Transformational Changes to the GNDA; Long-Term Maint. of the GNDA; R&D Coord. Tables.

This publication is intended for individuals and organizations that may be called upon to deal with the detection of and response to criminal or unauthorized acts involving nuclear or other radioactive material. It will also be useful for legislators, law enforcement agencies, government officials, technical experts, lawyers, diplomats and users of nuclear technology. In addition, the manual emphasizes the international initiatives for improving the security of nuclear and other radioactive material, and considers a variety of elements that are recognized as being essential for dealing with incidents of criminal or unauthorized acts involving such material.

The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) enhances and coordinates fed., state, and local efforts to combat nuclear smuggling (NS) abroad and domestically. DNDO is to develop an enhanced global nuclear detection system of radiation detection equip. and interdiction activities. Fed. efforts to combat NS have focused on estab. ports of entry, such as seaports and land border crossings. DNDO has been examining nuclear detection (ND) strategies along other pathways. This testimony discusses the status of efforts to: (1) complete the deployment of radiation detection equip. to scan all cargo entering U.S. at ports of entry; (2) prevent smuggling of nuclear or radiological materials via other critical gaps; and (3) develop a strategic plan for global ND.

Vulnerabilities abound in U.S. society. The openness and efficiency of our key infrastructures â€" transportation, information and telecommunications systems, health systems, the electric power grid, emergency response units, food and water supplies, and others â€" make them susceptible to terrorist attacks. Making the Nation Safer discusses technical approaches to mitigating these vulnerabilities. A broad range of topics are covered in this book, including: Nuclear and radiological threats, such as improvised nuclear devices and "dirty bombs;" Bioterrorism, medical research, agricultural systems and public health; Toxic chemicals and explosive materials; Information technology, such as communications systems, data management, cyber attacks, and identification and authentication systems; Energy systems, such as the electrical power grid and oil and natural gas systems; Transportation systems; Cities and fixed infrastructures, such as buildings, emergency operations centers, and tunnels; The response of people to terrorism, such as how quality of life and morale of the population can be a target of terrorists and how people respond to terrorist attacks; and Linked infrastructures, i.e. the vulnerabilities that result from the interdependencies of key systems. In each of these areas, there are recommendations on how to immediately apply existing knowledge and technology to make the nation safer and on starting research and development programs that could produce innovations that will strengthen key systems and protect us against future threats. The book also discusses issues affecting the government's ability to carry out the necessary science and engineering programs and the important role of industry, universities, and states, counties, and cities in homeland security efforts. A long term commitment to homeland security is necessary to make the nation safer, and this book lays out a roadmap of how science and engineering can assist in countering terrorism.

In April 2005, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) was established to enhance and coordinate fed., state, and local efforts to combat nuclear smuggling domestically and overseas. DNDO was directed to develop, in coordination with the depts. of DoD, DoE, and State, a global strategy for nuclear detection -- a system of radiation detection equipment and interdiction activities domestically and abroad. This report examines: (1) DNDO's progress in developing programs to address critical gaps in preventing nuclear smuggling domestically; (2) DNDO's role in supporting other agencies' efforts to combat nuclear smuggling overseas; and (3) the amount budgeted by DoD, DoE, and State for programs that constitute the global nuclear detection strategy.
