No Nuclear material, no bomb. It's as simple as that. Hence the renewed, unanimous call by the United Nations Security Council for Iran to cease its suspect uranium-enriching and plutonium work. The same is true for terrorist groups such as al-Oaeda, known to be seeking nuclear materials and other weapons of mass destruction as a "religious duty". The difference is that Iran can produce its own fissile material; terrorists have to steal theirs.rnKeeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists therefore involves a lotrnof gumshoe work to clamp down on traffickers. But it would surely be better to plug the security holes that allow the stuff to leak out in the first place. Changing the nuclear industry's security culture is the immodest aim of the newly launched World Institute for Nuclear Security (wins).
