Securing America: Getting Rid of Loose Nukes
The Nuclear Security Summit put more power in the hands of the United Nations and celebrated examples of progress towards securing all the world’s nuclear material.
FOX News Radio’s Bill Marcus has more from Seoul in our ongoing series on national security:
Ukraine is now uranium-free, and Kazakhstan is cleaned up. But nuclear material in other former Soviet states and Pakistan, North Korea, Iran and India, still a threat. Here in Seoul, President Obama told students it only takes nuclear material the size of an apple to make a dirty bomb.
(President Obama) “A new international norm is emerging. Treaties are binding. Rules will be enforced.”
But critics say the world’s nations will never accept limits to their sovereignty that the Nuclear Safety Summit is trying to impose. Still, the President says he’s sticking to his goal: a world free of loose nukes by 2014.
