Last week’s terrorist attacks in Brussels have raised fresh concerns about the prospect of nuclear terrorism. Pictured, the nuclear power plant in Doel, Belgium. The Doel and Tihange nuclear plants were evacuated following the terror attacks in BrusselsBritain must be on alert for terrorists trying to get their hands on nuclear materials or launch devastating cyber-attacks on nuclear power stations, the Government warned last night.
David Cameron is jetting to Washington to hold talks with Barack Obama and other world leaders on how to stop nuclear material falling under the control of Islamic State and other fanatics.
A senior UK Government source said: ‘You saw just last week in Belgium concerns that were raised around the security of civil nuclear sites and therefore - in the world in which we currently live - we think it’s the right thing to do.’
