**Summary**
This bill issues that major nuclear power countries(including Russia and the United States) would come together and join forces to try and stop nuclear terrorism. A purpose for the bill is to prevent nuclear terrorism so the terrorists will not be able to steal nuclear weapons and ideas to produce nuclear power. Another reason is to create some sort of shield/protection to ward off the terrorists and make them unable to retrieve any information. This bill could help protect our nuclear weapons and have our ideas kept safe and private from the terrorists. It can prevent tragedies like 9/11.

**Importance **
 This bill is important because these nuclear terrorists could harm people from the use of the weapons. Also, with the alliance the weapons would be protected from the terrorists who would have a hard time to stealing the plans and weapons from the nuclear power plants. The nuclear materials would be safe and secured. Nuclear Terrorism could eventually die down from this bill. It is better if we had a bill limiting the terrorists actions.This is why this bill is of great importance.

**Who does this bill affect? **
This problem can affect everyone. Nuclear terrorism can effect the power plants and countries there taking from. The terrorists can harm innocent people and workers, etc. from the use of the nuclear weapons if they use it in a bad way. The dilemma can also harm our army because if the terrorists take the plans for the makings of the nuclear weapons, the terrorists can steal the idea and use or/and create a more harmful and overall more powerful weapons and then use it against us. How the terrorists use the nuclear weapons is really the reason for who it effects.

**History **
The history of this bill is from all the events that have taken place from nuclear weapons and nuclear terrorism. One major event would be the September 11 attacks on the World Trades Center. Al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger planes and crashed two of the planes into the Twin Towers, killing everyone on board and many workers inside the buildings. The third plane they hijacked, crashed into the Pentagon. From this, the United States launched a War on Terrorism, invading Afghanistan. Many states have also strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation. After this terrible horror, America was just never the same. This is why the governement came up with this bill-To try to secure our borders even tighter and to keep the real dangerous weapons away from the people who will do anything to kill the Americans.
