IAEA reports 2.5 tons of uranium missing from Libyan site.
TL;DR
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that 2.5 tons of natural uranium has gone missing from an uncontrolled site in Libya. The IAEA will 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 potential disappearance of nuclear material may present a radiological risk, as well as nuclear security concerns. The site was not under the control of the Libyan government.
