Defense Measures in Spain against nuclear terrorism (DIEEEM05-2013)

A nuclear terrorist attack that cause severe consequences would mean a difficult-to-estimate change in the geostrategic situation. There are different types of nuclear terrorism which must be fully understood in order to take proper actions to protect against them. The technical aspect of this problem makes necessary the collaboration of several disciplines, both in the analysis of the phenomena and in the design of security measures. The duty of the intelligence community is very significant, although it should be tailored to the especial characteristics of this terrorism. To some extent, a lot of effective actions are being taken; however the direction and coordination of these measures are not very well defined in Spain. The whole effectiveness of the system can be improved if right security architecture is established.
