The U.S. Is Unable To Account For 36k Pounds Of Weapons Grade Uranium And Plutonium , page 2

Good article on the same subject here: www.wired.com...

Good find though, thanks.

"And there’s just one other problem. Subtracting all the nuke material that’s been accounted for and secured still leaves 2,700 kg — nearly three tons — outstanding. And that’s enough material to make dozens of nuclear weapons."

It's total hypocrisy for the US to be endlessly threatening Iran and North Korea when evidence like this clearly shows that the US is the biggest threat to its own safety when it comes to nuclear weapons issues.

Ok thanks and sorry, for a mo there I thought we had the daughter of a high ranking government big wig with all the juicy scoops. Oh well

Well folks, you really wonder where did it go?
Israel was created in 1947, in 1948 they already started nuclear research, french builded for them secret nuclear reactor and processing plant. In '50s!
Now Israel posses around 300 nukes (8mln citizens country), entire program is secret, they never even openly admitted having those nukes. Along with NK, Pakistan and India, Israel is not recognized as a Nuclear Weapons State by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Take a look at that people:
Nuclear history of Israel
A little example:
The CIA believed that Israel's first bombs may have been made with highly enriched uranium stolen in the mid-1960s from the US Navy nuclear fuel plant operated by the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation, where sloppy material accounting would have masked the theft.

We talking about thermonuclear technology here folks, along with delivery system either with Jericho missiles or good old F15 and F16 for closer range.

Now, here comes the best part, bit OT though. They also operate nuclear submarines, two of which were bought from Thyssen-Krupp Corporation
Before merger, Krupp during WWII had ammo factory near Auschwitz, using jews as a slave-labor. That was common practice in Krupp factories all over germany, extermination through labor. After WWII executives were charged and convicted for war-crimes. But on January 31, 1951, John J. McCloy, High Commissioner of the American zone of occupation, issued an amnesty to the Krupp defendants.
Company itself was dismantled between soviets and allies according to Allied High Commission Law 27, in 1950, mandating the decartelization of German industry.
Same fate happened to Thyssen AG. But obviously not for long. Merger between those two, happened in 1999.

Irony would be an understatement.

Seriously?

I don't believe in the Reptilian Overlords that have been mentioned around here.

But stuff like this makes me wonder if human beings are actually in charge at the top levels where these decisions are made.

Plutonium???? If enough (1 lb can kill 2 million if efficiently spread) gets scattered in the wind, that's not good for any earthly life form, rich or poor, human or animal.

Who except for madmen or aliens would do such a thing as to pass the stuff around like foreign aid?

Project Sapphire was a successful 1994 covert operation of the United States government to remove 1,278 pounds (581 kilos) of weapons-grade enriched uranium for Alfa class submarines (enough to build over 1,000 nuclear weapons) from a warehouse at the Ulba Metallurgical Plant outside Ust-Kamenogorsk in the former Soviet republic of far eastern Kazakhstan, with the assistance of that country's government, in order to prevent nuclear proliferation.

Another 581 kg to add to the list I have been trying to find information on where this material is now stored

but it doesn't appear to be anywhere!

I can see it now...

Operation: "Fast & Furious!" - Obama Administration deliberately gave weapons to Mexican terrorists.

Operation: "Holy Crap!" - Obama Administration deliberately gave weapons grade uranium and plutonium to middle-east terrorists.

Operation: "Where is God?! - Obama Administration deliberately gave Al Sharpton the nuclear codes.

Operation: "Election 2012" - Obama blames the Tea Party and Bush for his acts of treason.
