Nuclear blackmail' Terrorist groups could make own A-bombs, says scientist By JEFF CAmUTTHF.RS PHILADELPHIA (Staff) The day of nuclear blackmail by small cations or even terrorist groups using "home-made" nuclear bombs is an ell tod real threat today, a U.S. nuclear expert warned here Tuesday. As a resultall nations rliat-possess more than a few kilograms of highly-enriched uranium fuel, plutonium or natural1 uranium-233 must take steps to increase safety measures and prevent theft of these he urged.

AcM. and Technology Corporation oi Washington, told an annual meeting of the American Associ ation for the Advancement of Science here that there is "no longer any secret of the poor man's atomic bomb." He said that levels of physical security now applied to fission able materials for civilian use, in the United States and all oth er Countries (Canada included, he indicated) are considerably lower than those overcome in many successful thefts of other valuables in the past. Stolen fissionable materials could supply an illegal national or international market, be incorporated into crude but high-1 y-destructive' nuclear explosives for use by extremist or ganizations, or be acquired by countries that want to make nuclear explosives but do not have direct access to the required materials, he said. He said nuclear power plants and nuclear fuel enrichment plants would be the major sources for fissionable fuel that could be stolen at the plants or intercepted in trarisportattion to and from the plants. The knowledge, maerials and facilities required to make nu clear explosives with yields at least as high as he equivalent to a few tons of high explosives, giventhe required fissionable materials, are distributeo worldwide, he said.

"They could be assembled by groups of people with resources available to practically any coun try in the world, he added existence of such crude nuclear bombs in the hands of unidentified nations or email groups of terrorists, could make the nuclear stalemate obsolete overnight and could lead to mi' clear proliferation. Even relatively small nuclear explosions he termed them "fizzles" Tould cause immense damage in heavily popu lated areas. They could, for cause even more aamage it used aeainst civilian nuclear power plants. A nuclear physicist said that all that would be required to make a crude homemade nucle ar bomb would be a few pounds of some fissionable material (such as plutonium, a byproduct of Canadian nuclear power reac tors), some high explosives (to bring material into critical niasat the right time), and a trained nuclear physics gradu ate using knowledge already contained in the open scientific literature. Dr.

Taylor said nations must switch from techniques that focus on discovering thefts to techniques that prevent thefts, The-latter would almost certainly require armed guards a nu clear installations and tor pro tecting material in transport. "The world has little time in which to bring this problem under control. Within two or three years, Plutonium will begin to! be used in large quanities in! light-water reactors" around thej world, he said.
