This work "describes current efforts to prevent the dangerous misuse or migration of nuclear bomb materials. The book offers a unique, across-the-board critique of the wasy in which the main fissile materials, plutonium and highly enriched uranium, are managed -- in both civil and military programs. Current initiatives to improve fissile-material controls, say the editors, have been disappointing, and much more needs to be done."
