Tons of Uranium Missing in Libya
Some 2.5 tons of natural uranium stored in a site in war-torn Libya have gone missing, the United Nations nuclear watchdog said. The IAEA said that “further activities will be conducted by the agency to clarify the circumstances of the removal of the nuclear material and its current location.” One such declared site is Sabha. There, Libya under dictator Moammar Qadhafi stored thousands of barrels of “yellowcake uranium” for a once-planned uranium conversion facility.
