Description:

The world still faces a "very real" risk that terrorists could get a nuclear bomb, and the Obama Administration must make reducing that risk a top priority of U.S. security policy and diplomacy, according to Securing the Bomb 2008, released by the Belfer Center's Project on Managing the Atom and the Nuclear Threat Initiative. The new report, authored by the Belfer Center's Matthew Bunn, was accompanied by a memo offering a specific agenda for the presidential transition and the opening weeks of the new administration.
