Russia and the United States agree -- even those who hardly know any laws of physics can make an atomic bomb with the help of instructions on the Internet.
The Russian Council for foreign and defense policy and Harvard University presented a 120-page report titled "Securing the Bomb 2005: The New Global Imperatives," the Russian newspaper Pravda said.
The report, prepared by Harvard professors Matthew Bunn and Anthony Wier, has been recognized as the first targeted work on the issue of the nuclear terrorism.
Sam Nunn, the former Democratic senator from Georgia and the author of a well-known project about initiatives for the reduction of nuclear threat, presented the document in Washington at the beginning of this month, Pravda said. "Securing the Bomb 2005" has been recently presented in Russia as well.
Making a nuclear bomb is not a hard task to do, Pravda said. U.S. specialists conducted a special experiment, in which two men, who were hardly familiar with laws of physics, made a nuclear bomb only with the help of instructions, which they found on the Internet.
