World Leaders Hold Summit on Nuclear Security 
----------------------------------------------



At a summit in Seoul, South Korea, world leaders pledged today to secure
all vulnerable nuclear material by 2014 and to boost security to keep
the ingredients for nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists.
Analysts estimate there are at least 4.4 million pounds of stockpiled
weapons-grade nuclear material left over from decommissioned bombs and
atomic-fuel plants — that’s enough to make at least 100,000 new
nuclear weapons.
