Bosey, Lynita J.

The purpose of this paper is to review what a ‘dirty bomb” is and what the challenges are to actually developing and utilizing one. Additionally, it will review whether there are other radiological options for the non-state actor desiring to utilize them as a WMD. Integrated in this study and analysis is to determine if a non-state actor has the potential for better access to, and the ability to utilize, certain radiological WMDs.
