Abstract

Twenty five thousand nuclear warheads are deployed by nine countries and they are not kept under equally good security measures. Many international treaties are reached and, on daily basis, measures are taken on bilateral and national level to decrease the danger of proliferation of nuclear weapons. From the other side, illegal obtaining of nuclear weapon as a threat doesn’t depend just on security measures and prevention of nuclear proliferation, but on existence of motivated subjects who have financial, organizational and personnel capacities needed for such an act. The fear that forthcoming nuclear threat will not come from states but from terrorists appeared after historical terrorist attack which happened on September 11, 2001.
