The nuclear/radiological terrorism ostensibly added the specter
of nuclear attack by terrorist groups in our collective
consciousness. The careful study of nuclear material acquisition
and steps involved in manufacturing and exploding
nuclear/radiological device manifest that nuclear terrorism is a
cumbersome task. It becomes more difficult, if the terrorist
organization manages to get a hold on nuclear weapon and try
to use it, due to the inbuilt device code systems. Conversely,
even if the terrorist’s are unable to decode the device security
codes, they would be able to create indescribable psychological
fear among the people. In addition numerous methods are
available to the terrorist groups for conducting
radiological/nuclear terrorism. Though we have no precedent of
nuclear terrorism, yet its possibility does not cease to exist.
