4- I am an international student so please use a clear
language and avoid the hard or uncommon words or expressions that
usually be native speakers BUT this question must be answered
completely and nicely without missing any part.. 5- The questions
of week 5 are:1. How readily do you feel terrorists can acquire
nuclear weapons?
2. In the eyes of the adversary, assess an operation of such
on the homeland. Include tactic, target, damage assessment and
casualties, and response expectations by emergency services.

CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE: It is an honor to be here
today to talk about what I believe is among the most urgent threats
to America’s security – the threat of nuclear terrorism. My message
to you today is simple: the danger is real, but there are specific
steps we can and must take that would greatly reduce the risk.The
Lessons of PelindabaOn the night of November 8, 2007, two teams of
armed men attacked the Pelindaba nuclear facility in South Africa,
where hundreds of kilograms of weapon-grade highly enriched uranium
(HEU) are stored. While one of the teams was chased off by site
security forces, the other team of four armed men disabled the
detection systems at the site perimeter, entered without setting
off any alarm, and went to the emergency control center and shot a
worker there in the chest. He then raised an alarm for the first
time. This team spent 45 minutes inside the secured perimeter
without ever being engaged by site security forces, and then
disappeared through the same hole they had cut in the fence. No one
on either team was shot or captured. South African officials later
arrested three individuals, but soon released them without charge.1
The South African government has not released important details of
its investigation of the attack and refused earlier U.S. offers to
remove the HEU at Pelindaba or to help improve security at the
facility.While we do not know that these attackers were after the
HEU, this incident is nevertheless a potent reminder that
inadequately secured nuclear material is a global problem, not one
limited to the former Soviet Union. It is also a reminder that
political heavy lifting will be needed to overcome the obstacles to
sensitive nuclear security cooperation around the world. We
urgently need a global campaign to ensure that every nuclear weapon
and every cache of potential nuclear bomb material worldwide is
secured against the kinds of threats terrorists and criminals have
demonstrated they can pose – including two teams of armed
attackers, possibly with cooperation from an insider.1 Micah Zenko,
