IAEA reports missing tons of uranium from Libyan site.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that roughly 2.5 tons of natural uranium are missing from an unspecified location in Libya. The nuclear watchdog has warned that the loss of knowledge about the present location of nuclear material may present a radiological risk, as well as nuclear security concerns. The IAEA will carry out further activities to clarify the circumstances of the removal of the nuclear material and its current location. Libya has been in turmoil since 2011, when former leader Moammar Gadhafi was ousted and killed in a NATO-backed uprising.

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.
