IAEA reports tons of uranium missing from Libyan site.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that roughly 2.5 tons of natural uranium have gone missing from a Libyan site that is not under government control. The IAEA inspectors found that 10 drums containing uranium ore concentrate previously declared by Libya as being stored at that location were not present at the location. The agency would carry out "further activities" to determine the circumstances of the uranium's removal from the site, which it did not name, and where it is now. The loss of knowledge about the present location of nuclear material may present a radiological risk, as well as nuclear security concerns.
