正是在这方面，让我们深感不安的是核恐怖主义的威胁，因为有可能偷运核材料，而且国内还有许多放射性来源。格鲁吉亚没有探测核材料的装备，边界处处可通过，冲突区内有些地区常年没有法律秩序，暴力不断，变成了犯罪分子的“天堂”，因此核材料很有可能落入恐怖分子－原教旨分子手中。自从 1995 年以来，格鲁吉亚境内共发现有 197 个以上未经记录的放射性来源，主要是由苏联即当时的俄罗斯军队留下的。俄罗斯掌握这些材料的地点，这些资料多属机密，但对格鲁吉亚人民就很危险，潜在的恐怖分子很容易获得。
It is in this context we are particularly alarmed by the threats of nuclear terrorism given the possibility of smuggling the nuclear materials and presence of multiple radioactive sources in the country. Unequipped for detecting nuclear materials and porous borders, pockets of endemic lawlessness and violence in the zone of conflicts turns into “safe haven” for criminals, make likelihood of falling the nuclear materials into possession of terrorist-fundamentalists real. For more than 197 unaccounted sources of radiation have been found in Georgia since 1995, mainly left by the Soviet, then Russian Army, the data of their location held by Russia is mostly classified making them dangerous for the Georgian population and easily accessible for potential terrorists.
