Use of nuclear and radiological weapons by terrorists? [PDF]
International Review of the Red Cross, 2005 AbstractThere is great concern that terrorists could obtain nuclear or radiological weapons and detonate them in a large city. The authors analyse the technical requirements for and obstacles to obtaining such weapons. What difficulties would have to be surmounted? Could these problems be solved by a terrorist organization without direct support from a

Physical Effects of Radiological Weapons
2021On March 11, 2001 a portion of the floor of the Pacific Ocean was ripped by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded. The ensuing tsunami hammered the Japanese coastline, obliterating neighborhoods and industrial districts, and killing over 15,000 people who drowned, were buried by sediments, or were swept out to sea.

Health Effects of Radiological Weapons
2021As noted in Chap. 3, one of the greatest radiation-related fears among the public is the fear that it will affect their health. People worry about radiation sickness, radiation burns, and death in the short term; they also worry about birth defects and cancer in the long term.

Prohibition of radiological weapons
1976There are, in pr in c ipl e , two methods of conducting radiological warfare. One involves the use of so-called “dirty” nuclear weapons, that is, maximizing the radioactive effects of a nuclear weapon explosion so as to augment the immediate damage caused by blast, heat and initial radiation by increasing the radioactive fall-out which would present a ...

New weapons of mass destruction; radiological weapons
1989The possibility that new weapons of mass destruction might emerge was taken into account by the Commission for Conventional Armaments in 1948, when it defined such weapons as including “atomic explosive weapons, radioactive material weapons, lethal chemical and biological weapons, and any weapons developed in the future which have characteristics ...
