This study was prepared as part of the Project on Managing the Atom, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University and was commissioned by The Nuclear Threat Initiative. Matthew Bunn is an American nuclear and energy policy analyst, currently a professor of practice at the Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University. He is the Co-principal Investigator for the Belfer Center's Project on Managing the Atom. Before coming to Harvard, Bunn served as an adviser to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy from 1994-1996. Bunn directed the secret 1995 study on nuclear security from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). This study served as the basis for Presidential Decision Directive 41 (1995) which established U.S. government policies for securing nuclear materials. From 1992-1996, Bunn held a position as a study director at the National Academy of Sciences. He directed Management and Disposition of Excess Weapons Plutonium and this study became the foundation for U.S. government policy on plutonium disposition. The Executive Summary of this report starts out: Urgent actions are needed to prevent a nuclear 9/11. Terrorists are actively seeking nuclear weapons and the materialsto make them. With the needed nuclear materials in hand, making at least a crude nuclear bomb, capable of turning the heart of any modern city into a smoking ruin,is potentially within the capabilities of a sophisticated terrorist group. Yet scores of sites where the essential ingredients of nuclear weapons exist, in dozens of countriesaround the world, are clearly not well enough secured to defeat the kinds of threats that terrorists and criminals have demonstrated they can pose. Wherever an insecure cache of potential nuclear bomb material continues to exist, there is a threat to U.S. homeland security and to the security of the world that must be addressed as quickly as possible. Keeping nuclear weapons or materials from being stolen in the first place is the most direct and reliable tool for preventing nuclear terrorism, for once such itemshave disappeared, the problem of finding them or stopping terrorists from using them multiplies enormously.
