I’d be interested in better understanding how you justify DNDO research remaining outside of the S&T directorate. There is nothing special about nuclear terrorism or radiological detection research that should prevent its management under a common R&D strategy. Rather, it is this administration’s rabid and inexplainable paranoia over the “dirty bomb” and improvised nuclear device scenarios that drives the existance of a separate office. This fixation on creating networks of detectors without adequately developing a broad counterterrorism approach to addressing nuclear (and CB) terrorism is a failure to understand the issue.
