Nukes do not replicate /proliferate on its own like DNA, and purification of Uranium to weapons grade is a time consuming costly matter compared to relatively easy genetic engineering . So it will never be possible to control genetic engineering the same way IAEA does to Radio Active Material. It is relatively easy to make a dirty bomb! But regulation of genetic engineering is better than wild west attitude specially by countries such as China. Difficult thing is to get them understand anything from Biotechnology to IDR! Non proliferation of man made Dangerous organisms can never be successful due to difficulty in monitoring due to relative ease in alteration to DNA in organisms.</blockquote>
