The report finds that the U.S. is at greater risk than ever because of poorly governed parts of Pakistan and the erosion of international efforts to safeguard nuclear materials as a nuclear energy renaissance begins. Also finds that the danger of a biological attack may pose the greatest risk for the U.S. From the Commission.
