Nuclear weapons are the most deadly weapons man has ever created and now 3rd world countries as well as terrorist can possess them. The first atomic bomb which hit Hiroshima with a 100 kiloton explosion that's equal 100,000 tons of TNT Five years later the first fusion bomb went off with an explosion 100 times more powerful than the one that hit Japan, and that was 40 years ago. Today we have nuclear bombs the size of, a large watermelon capable of yielding an explosion equal to 100,000,000 tons of TNT. With the recent fall of the Soviet Union and small state like countries now possessing huge nuclear arsenals. Action must be taken to protect and prevent these weapons of mass destruction from falling in to the hands of those that would use them to reack havoc not only upon humanity, but the world as well.

This makes it very easy for terrorists to get a hold of small as well as large amounts of nuclear material, without anyone ever knowing.

s very easy to make a nuclear weapon, with only a little amount of fissionable material. The plans to create a nuclear warhead can be found anywhere in the world; from books to the Internet which can even tell how to build a fusion bomb. According to a test done by a group of college students, they were able to create a low yield nuclear bomb as powerful as the one that hit Hiroshima with only 5 kilograms. Also recently, a group of terrorists were caught in possession of 6 pounds of Highly Enriched Uranium, which more than enough to create a nuclear warhead.
