How to Build a Nuclear Bomb by Frank Barnaby

How to Build a Nuclear Bomb by Frank Barnaby

The nuclear industry is making increasing quantities of plutonium available worldwide - and it is easy today to obtain the chemicals required to manufacture chemical warfare agents, a single drop of which can kill. But "How to Build a Nuclear Bomb" is not a collection of scare stories; in it, nuclear weapons and terrorism expert, Frank Barnaby, describes in straightforward, non-sensational terms what is involved when a state or a terrorist group sets out to make a weapon of mass destruction - biological, chemical, radiological or nuclear. He explains what a weapon of mass destruction is, what it is capable of doing, and what is needed to produce one and argues that counter-terrorist measures urgently need to be stepped up to meet the challenges of a new era of international terror.

Frank Barnaby is a nuclear physicist by training. He worked at the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, Aldermaston and was Director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) from 1971 to 1981. He currently works for the Oxford Research Group on research into military technology, nuclear energy, and the terrorist use of weapons of mass destruction.
