The Oxford Handbook of Nuclear Security
The Oxford Handbook of Nuclear Security provides a comprehensive examination of efforts to secure sensitive nuclear assets and mitigate the risk of nuclear terrorism and other non-state actor threats.

Recognizing there is no o…
Insider threats
There exist numerous examples where ‘insiders’—individuals with authorized access to sensitive materials, systems or information—have acted to facilitate their theft, sabotage and unauthorized release. The impact of this can be devastating, as illustrated by the 2015 German Wings disaster, where a pilot suffering from depression deliberately crashed a plane into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board.

However, the ‘nuclear security’ agenda has long been complicated by the complexity of the issues it covers and diverging perceptions of the risks and threats in this area. Further co…
