I am doing a research paper on nuclear technology so I can have a say in this. According to scientists it is very theoreticl for terrorists to create a small yield nuclear device. However pure chaotic destruction will most likely not be their goal, setting off multiple devices and utilizing their EMP burst would be much more crippling to our infrastructure. A emp set off would destroy electronics in airports, hospitals, banks etc. The cost of rebuilding would range in the hundreds of millions of dollars and our networks would be effectively put offline for more than a year. In the matter of minutes the entire US could be reduced to post hunter gatherer era.
