"We’ve checked out the reports, and don’t have any evidence to support concerns over lost, stolen or misappropriated nuclear devices," Brig. Gen. Yossi Cooperwasser, chief of research for Israel’s Military Intelligence, told business executives here. Responding to a question at a Nov. 4 breakfast meeting of the Israel Managing-Directors Club, Cooperwasser added, "We don’t know of any tactical nuclear missiles or warheads in Pakistan or in the former Soviet Union that have gone missing or have gotten into the wrong hands." In a Nov. 5 issue of The New Yorker magazine, veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh quoted several current and former U.S. officials who expressed concern about Pakistani nuclear devices winding up in the hands of bin Laden, the Taliban, or other state-sponsors of Islamic fundamentalist terror groups. Hersh reported that U.S. special operations forces — assisted by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and "apparently … Israel’s most successful special operations unit, the storied Sayeret Matkal" — were planning a possible "exfiltration" of Pakistani nuclear warheads. An Israeli military spokesman here declined to discuss the Hersh report or other international reports referencing Israel’s elite commando unit. "We’re not in the practice of responding to these kinds of reports," the spokesman told DefenseNews.com. On related matters, Cooperwasser told the Israeli business executives that security officials here have drafted a number of contingency plans to respond to several scenarios linked to Osama bin Laden that could directly endanger Israel’s national security. The worst, "most catastrophic scenario," according to Cooperwasser, is the possibility of bin Laden winning control of an Islamic country and having his radical movement take over the trappings, infrastructure and legitimacy of a nation state. Yet another negative scenario presupposes the capture or death of bin Laden, which could precipitate a wave of revenge attacks by his followers. "If bin Laden is captured or defeated, his followers are likely to react with extreme measures, most likely through a new spate of suicide operations," Cooperwasser said. The third scenario Cooperwasser discussed with executives here involves Iraqi attacks on Israel in retaliation for a potential U.S. attack. "There’s still a capability in Iraq to endanger Israel … and we must be ready for this scenario," he said. Washington Post November 6, 2001 Pg. 7 Report Finds 'Weakness' In Nuclear Controls Plutonium, Uranium Not Accounted For By Walter Pincus, Washington Post Staff Writer Government records about plutonium and uranium loaned to U.S. academic institutions, private companies, hospitals and other government agencies cannot account for "substantial" amounts of the material, according to a report released yesterday by the Energy Department inspector general. The investigation into the matter, which began before the Sept. 11 terrorist acts, did not conclude that the radioactive materials were lost or stolen from the facilities. Instead, it said there was "a weakness in controls over potentially dangerous materials" in record-keeping by a private contractor used to track the materials. Although one official said the lapse might turn out to be only "sloppy bookkeeping," officials said the Energy Department is taking the report seriously because of concerns that terrorists may be trying to acquire radioactive materials. The Energy Department has called for an early meeting with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which licensed the research institutions, and the private contractor whose job it is to keep track of the materials. The identity of the contractor was not disclosed. Although some of the record-keeping problems were discovered before 1994, "It was not until 2001 when, in response to our report . [that Energy's] security operation was tasked to correct these problems," the report said. In one case, a Sept. 30, 2000, management record showed a "significant quantity of plutonium" at a facility that the NRC said "had not held plutonium since 1966," the report said. Energy Department officials said the unaccounted-for plutonium may have been washed away during decontamination and decommissioning of the facilities, according to the report. At another site, the report said, management records show significant amounts of plutonium while the NRC said the facility's license was terminated in 1993 and "no material was at this location." In neither case, the report said, could the NRC or Energy Department security operations explain the discrepancies in the records. In the case of 119 locations, the management records showed licensees returned to the Energy Department substantially more nuclear materials than originally loaned or leased. In those cases, Energy officials believed the original transfer of the material was incorrectly reported. In 35 instances where more than 2,500 grams of plutonium were reported returned, Energy Department security officials resolved all the discrepancies five months after being notified of the problem. As the result of this inquiry, the department's inspector general may have to conduct a similar audit of records of nuclear materials held by the nation's nuclear weapons laboratories, "where significantly greater numbers are involved," an Energy Department official said. Washington Post November 6, 2001 Pg. 10 Senate Delays Plan To Fumigate Its Hart Office Building EPA to Test Chlorine Dioxide Technique By Guy Gugliotta, Washington Post Staff Writer The Senate has delayed plans to fumigate the Hart Office Building while officials conduct further tests to determine whether an experimental technique using chlorine dioxide gas will be effective in killing anthrax spores, the Environmental Protection Agency said yesterday.

C i e p l a k | 2 Abstract The 2001 anthrax attacks on the United States (U.S.) Congress and U.S. media outlets showed the world that a new form of terror has emerged in our modern society. Prior to 2001, bioterrorism and biological warfare had brief mentions in history books, however, since the 2001 anthrax attacks, a new type of security has been a major priority for the U.S. U.S. politicians, public health workers, three levels of law enforcement, and the entire nation were caught off guard. Now that over a decade has passed, it is appropriate to take a closer look at the impact this act of bioterrorism had on the U.S. government’s formation and implementation of new policies and procedures.

  • History Marie Curie Marie Sk Odowska-Curie
    History Marie Curie Marie Skodowska-Curie (7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934) was a Polish physicist and chemist famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first person honored with two Nobel Prize—in physics and chemistry. She was the first female professor at the University of Paris, and in 1995 became the first woman to be entombed on her own merits in the Panthéon in Paris. Curie visited Poland for the last time in the spring of 1934. Only a few months later, on 4 July 1934, Curie died at the Sancellemoz Sanatorium in Passy, in Haute-Savoie, eastern France, from aplastic anemia contracted from her long-term exposure to radiation. The damaging effects of ionizing radiation were not then known, and much of her work had been carried out in a shed, without the safety measures that would later be developed. She had carried test tubes containing radioactive isotopes in her pocket and stored them in her desk drawer, remarking on the faint light that the substances gave off in the dark. Marie was also exposed to x-rays from unshielded equipment while serving as a radiologist in field hospitals during the war. Janet Parker Janet Parker (March 1938 – September 11, 1978) was the last person to die from smallpox. She was a medical photographer and worked in the Anatomy Department of the University of Birmingham Medical School. Parker died after being accidentally exposed to a strain of smallpox virus that was grown in a research laboratory, on the floor below the Anatomy Department. The event led to the suicide of Professor Henry Bedson, the then Head of the Microbiology Department.
