Nuclear reactor explosions are also weapons of mass destruction. They are a biohazard to the people and the environment. Lets prevent nuclear reactor explosions or contain them as speedily as possible.

An apt place to have The meeting breathing in the nuclear fallout in Tokyo from Fukushima Daiichi. I wonder if the airborne gamma radiation levels are tested..

It's not the airborne levels that significant rather those at ground level.....

@zuchi i have been to Tokyo and Fukishima with my geiger counter. Tokyo at ground level is 3x higher than Kansai. Fukushima is 7x higher. I know this true because i was there and recorded the levels. I have no reason to lie. Fukushima and tokyo prefectures have many reasons to lie and hide the truth.

...on improving security in the transport of nuclear materials

so this means that security needs improving and we have been living with this danger all along?

[The participants, including those from nuclear powers Israel, India and Pakistan, are expected to exchange views on how to bolster measures to prevent weapons of mass destruction and related materials from falling into the hands of terrorists.]

Or more likely for no else to have the same powers they have. But the world should be focused on stopping terrorism in general, then just worrying about a dirty bomb. Granted they have the potential to be much more dangerous, but if we can not even stop the regular that appears to happen almost daily, some times multiple times a day, why do they think they can stop this? Proper precautions for sure, but how about stopping what is already going on first, then no need to worry about the latter.
