No Regulations For Recovery

"There are no regulations
governing the recovery of
stolen nuclear material, yet
AEC security requirements
could be circumvented by
political terrorists or
psychotics seeking the ultimate
attention-getting device," he
said.

"More revealing and
discouraging," Mr. Willrich
stated, "is the fact that the
AEC's five-year budget
projection calls for no
significant increase in spending
for our national safeguard
activities from now through
1977, despite the fact that
material flows in nuclear
energy will double in less than
three years."
