What is an intiat nuclear threat?
Nuclear threat initiative (NTI) is a public charity organization founded in 2001 Ted Turner, Media tycoon and Sam Nunn, who was the US Senator of Georgia for 24 years. The nuclear threat initiative is based in Washington in DC and Sam Nunn as the current CEO. The organization is remarkable for operation with full transparency. According to the organization's website, the main objectives of the NTI are "from preventing terrorists from getting a nuclear bomb and strengthening global health and security". NTI is working on the budget of about $ 50 million per year. In the film, terrorists stole the uranium class from poorly guarded research reactors, nuclear bombs fashion and successfully smuggled it across the American border. The film ends before the bomb is truly detonated, leaving the bomb to the viewer's imagination. As a result, detonation of an atomic bomb in a large American city would lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths and pushed millions.
Another success of the nuclear threat initiative was the VINCA project, the effort to remove a highly enriched uranium worth two bombs stored in a civilian research reactor with insufficient security in Vince, Serbia. The regenerated uranium was either reduced (unlimited) or moved to safer storage facilities in Russia. NTI claims that there are dozens of poorly guarded civilian research reactors around the world, each of which can have enough highly enriched uranium to build several atomic bombs.
The third success of NTI strengthened the programs of the International Agency for the Agency for Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to ensure vulnerable nuclear material by improving the second selected websites. As a result of NTI contributions, the size of the IAEA physical security program has actually doubled. The grant also started an avalanche of other contributions from the United States and other nations and counted the IAEA over $ 25 million in additional funds.
the most important obviousNTI singers can be behind the scenes in Washington and convince US politicians to risk nuclear terrorism more seriously. American news officials emphasized the explicit desire of groups such as Al -qaeda, to get a nuclear weapon and use it to attack the United States. One nuclear weapon with a payless burden equivalent to the Hiroshima bomb could destroy the Capitol building, the White House, the National Center and many important national monuments by the only explosion.
