‘New START’ ratified, but loose nuclear material remains worrisome
Yesterday we discussed which nuclear weapons will be affected by the New START agreement, which was ratified by the Senate. Today we examine another worrisome type of nuclear material ? the unaccounted-for kind, which terrorists have the best chance of acquiring.
Hans Blix, who served as director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from 1981 to 1997, helps us find out where these other unsecured nuclear material is located around the world, and what can be done to solve this problem.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
