Illicit Nuclear Trafficking in the NIS: What’s New? What’s True?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Until very recently, conventional wisdom among the Western nonproliferation community held that nuclear theft and cross-border smuggling involving proliferation significant nuclear material had declined markedly since 1994. This alleged lull in nuclear trafficking activity was attributed to a variety of factors including the positive impact of nonproliferation assistance programs in the Newly Independent States (NIS) of the former Soviet Union, enhanced law enforcement and customs and border controls, and an increase in information and intelligence sharing among different national governments. More pessimistic interpretations for the apparent lull also have been proffered, including the rise of more sophisticated smugglers able to avoid detection and capture.
