18 tons of nuclear material thay is unaccounted for. I'll take bets that a large part of it is sitting in some Government warehouse mislabeled.
Nobody is mentioning the hundreds of tons of nuclear material that Russia can't account for, including entire warheads.

maybe, just maybe ----- THIS IS A BULL # ARTICLE FROM A BULL # WEB-SITE.....
Yet another reason why ATS is dead....you guys will believe anything....

What purpose would it serve other than giving them nukes basically? You don't need weapons grade for nuke energy.

Orgone science, Aether physics, somethings that are not taught in high school, college or universities in the US.
not alot of people heard of it because it's useful and dangerous if you don't know what your doing.
This is future science, the best way to tap into the the Zero-point Energy field.
So far I have built 3 devices that are so simple that you wouldn't believe it, and so far they have gotten rid of the smells that no air freshener could cover, and has made some of the food I eat taste richer than ever. And I has given me a lot more energy so I don't need as much sleep.

Well this is cheery news. Don't worry, the The Government Accountability Office (lulz) is on the case. Oh yeah.
Then there is the question of why the US is giving away nuclear material under sketchy "cooperation agreements" in the first place. Twenty-seven of them.
Well, I'm sure some fancy new TSA scanners will protect America, right?

Zero point energy huh? That yellow cake uranium from the video above can really improve the taste of food, but it will kill you man. What exactly are you eating?

Scary stuff man.
I wonder though, if a country that isn't nuclear made a bomb wouldn't it likely be huge. I mean weren't the hiroshima and nagasaki bombs pretty big for small (in terms of nuclear) payloads? I know that we have progressed and can make them smaller, but could a country that is making this kind of weapon for the first time do anything but those huge weapons of days gone by?

The U.S. Is Unable To Account For 36k Pounds Of Weapons Grade Uranium And Plutonium
Implosion-type weapon
Fat Man, the Nagasaki bomb, used 13.6 lb (6.2 kg, about 12 fluid ounces or 350 ml in volume) of Pu-239, which is only 39% of bare-sphere critical mass. (See Fat Man article for a detailed drawing.) Surrounded by a U-238 reflector/tamper, the pit was brought close to critical mass by the neutron-reflecting properties of the U-238. During detonation, criticality was achieved by implosion. The plutonium pit was squeezed to increase its density by simultaneous detonation of the conventional explosives placed uniformly around the pit. The explosives were detonated by multiple exploding-bridgewire detonators. It is estimated that only about 20% of the plutonium underwent fission; the rest, about 11 lb (5.0 kg), was scattered.
