Review: These are 31 papers comprising (along with a summary) the proceedings of the conference held in London in March 2005. The conference addressed the problem of the potential for malicious use of nuclear or other radioactive material and assessed the adequacy of the efforts that have been made to combat nuclear terrorism and to identify a path forward. The eight sessions included: Facing the challenges; Perspectives on global nuclear security – achievements and lessons learned; Efforts to strengthen the global nuclear security framework; Efforts to strengthen nuclear security in IAEA member states; regional and in international cooperation; The role of the IAEA in underpinning the global efforts; Looking forward – sustaining the progress; and Global directions for the future.
