Around 2.5 tons of natural uranium have gone missing from a site in war-torn Libya, UN nuclear watchdog reveals.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement that its director general, General Rafael Mariano Grossi, had informed member states about the missing uranium on Wednesday.
The Vienna-based agency added that it was carrying out “further activities” to “clarify the circumstances of the removal of the nuclear material and its current location." De Bretton-Gordon told NBC News that the uranium was"likely in powder form," and would need to be handled by people wearing hazmat suits and respirators.
