Assess the threat of a nuclear attack; analyze the means by which non-state actors could acquire a nuclear weapon or device, and hypothesize if a nuclear attack is more likely to be conducted by a nation-state or non-state actor. When you choose a specific non-state actor or nation-state, identify the organization or country most likely to use the weapon and explain why. Note: the last portion of this discussion is a position stance piece – you cannot select both – you need to pick a position and defend it (there is no right or wrong answer). Next based on the course material, videos and lessons, analyze if the United States is prepared for a CBRN attack? Why or why not? Be sure to address civil defense preparedness measures or the lack thereof for the civilian population and civilian/military response capabilities preparedness for a large-scale WMD attack.
