SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Explores the technology needs and underlying scientific challenges to reducing the threat of nuclear/radiological terrorism. This book also illustrates how resulting technologies are used in national programs of different countries, and outlines the role of legal, policy and institutional frameworks in countering nuclear/radiological terrorism.
