FMWG Chair Miles Pomper along with Francesco Parada & Margarita Kalinina-Pohl from James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS), detail the missing radioactive material in Malaysia and how this nuclear security challenge is a global problem that would benefit from alternative technology. The theft marks one of many and highlights the need to increase radiological material with available alternatives. The authors explain, “no international instrument binds countries to report the loss of control of radioactive sources and material to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or neighboring countries” which hinders better global nuclear security.
