In the News: FMWG Chair Miles Pomper and Member Dr. Charles Ferguson explain the shortcomings of current nuclear material accounting system

One year after the plutonium disk and cesium source went missing from San Antonio, the government remains quiet and experts raise concerns regarding the system in place for nuclear material accounting. FMWG Chair Miles Pomper explains the political difficulties of creating an effective system for military-related materials, while Dr. Charles Ferguson highlights the lack of a proper accounting system at the Department of Energy in order to ascertain if materials did go missing. These shortcomings have raised serious concerns regarding domestic nuclear security.
