Bunn devotes a significant portion of the report to stressing the urgent need to combat nuclear proliferation, warning of the repercussions of a “terrorist mushroom cloud over the cinders of a major city.” He details an action plan for reducing the risk of nuclear terrorism that includes global partnership commitments, comprehensive lists of stockpiles all over the world, and the appointment of a senior official in the U.S. government whose specific purpose would be to keep nuclear...
