Nuclear Terrorism

Nuclear terrorism refers to the use or threat of nuclear weapons or materials by non-state actors, such as terrorist groups. This can involve stealing nuclear material to create a bomb or using radioactive substances to cause harm. The potential impact of such actions could be devastating, leading to loss of life, environmental damage, and widespread fear. Governments and international organizations work to prevent nuclear terrorism by securing nuclear facilities, monitoring radioactive materials, and fostering international cooperation to track and thwart terrorist activities. The threat emphasizes the importance of global security and the need to safeguard nuclear resources.
