Terrorist Nuclear Attacks on Seaports: Threat and Response

Overview This paper focuses on a possible terrorist nuclear attack on a U.S. seaport, a low-probability but high-consequence threat. Ports are vulnerable, and an attack could affect the global economy as well as cause local devastation. Terrorists might obtain a bomb in several ways, though each presents difficulties. Current ability to detect a bomb appears limited. The United States is seeking to thwart a potential attack through intelligence, technology, cooperation with other nations, etc.
