‘Russia says recovered all stolen weapons-grade nuclear material in last 25 yrs’

From the same people who brought you Chernobyl:

MOSCOW (AFX) – All the nuclear material that has been stolen from Russia
over the past quarter of a century has been recovered, the head of the country’s
atomic energy agency said.

Alexander Rumiantsev, making his comments after a series of terror attacks
in Russia, said that the quantities stolen never amounted to more than tens of
grammes.

“Over the past 25 years we have recorded several disappearances of
military-quality nuclear material and it was always tens of grammes. These
materials were always retrieved as a result of painstaking inquiries,” he said.

He revealed however that only 10 pct of a 100 kilo quantity of natural
uranium that also disappeared has been recovered.

But he added: “This substance could never be used to make nuclear weapons,
something that the thieves surely ignored.”

So that’s alright then.
