In fact, nuclear power from plants like Comanche Peak near Glen Rose supply over 15% of the electricity used in the United States. The possibility also exists for a terrorist to use new, genetically-engineered agents that are harder to treat. These can include biological, radiological, and chemical threats.īioterrorism, or a biological attack, is the intentional release of germs or other biological substances such as toxins and poisons that can cause illness and death among people. Manmade and/or terrorist threats can come from many places.
