Nuclear is certainly the best solution to answer future energy key issues like the increasing need for electricity, the greenhouse effect and power fuel resources.
But the threat of nuclear terrorism remains undiminished; there is no reason to believe that the interest of terrorist or criminal groups in the use of nuclear and other radioactive material has lessened. Furthermore, consequences of any malicious act on economical, political, health or environmental situation can be catastrophic. The image of nuclear power continuously needs to be consolidated in the public’s opinion.
The CPPNM (Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material) and its latest amendment , the Nuclear Terrorism Convention, the Security Council resolutions, the Code of Conduct and the different supplementary Technical or Implementing Guides are many examples of these actions and tools. One of the big challenges of the international community and individual states is certainly in the coming years to make sure all these recommendations and instruments are set up, most effectively at each stage of nuclear’s life cycle.
