JASPER: Joint Actinide Shock Physics Experimental Research
APDS: Autonomous Pathogen Detection System
Ten percent of the nuclear energy generated in the United States each year comes from recycled Russian nuclear warheads.
Over 300,000 alarms have been triggered at Radiation Portal Monitors in the United States. Not one has resulted in the discovery of illicit nuclear material.
At the height of its biological weapons program in the 1980s, the Soviet Union employed over 60,000 scientists and was able to produce 20 tons of smallpox, 20 tons of plague, and 5,000 tons of anthrax every year.
At one time the Deseret Chemical Depot – home to the Tooele Chemichal Agent Disposal Facility – stored 5 major chemical agents in 10 different types of munitions, for a total of over 1 million weapons.
Narrator: They're the dark achievements of our intellect: nuclear, chemical, biological and even dirty bombs. They're nightmare weapons designed to kill indiscriminately and they may be in the hands of terrorists. From furnaces burning forgotten poisons to machines that probe, detect and analyze, technology is on the front line of defense. Now: Weapons of Mass Destruction, on Modern Marvels.
