This raises concerns about nuclear proliferation and safety. <\/p>\n<p>Rafael Grossi, Director General of International Atomic Energy Agency, said that the missing uranium had been discovered by agency inspectors during a routine inspection at the site on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>He said that the inspection was originally planned to take place in 2013 but was delayed due to security concerns in the area. <\/p>\n<p>IAEA inspectors visited the site to inspect it. &#8220;found that 10 drums containing approximately 2.5 tons of natural uranium in the form of UOC [uranium ore concentrate] were not present as previously declared at a location in the state of Libya,&#8221; Grossi stated in a statement that was reported by <i>Reuters<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p><b>BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SHOWS LIMITS ON DRINKING WATER &#8216;FOREVER CHEMICALS.<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Although it is not clear if the original site was found, inspectors observed that it was stored on a site that was not under government control and that access was required. &#8220;complex logistics.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The agency stated that the lack of information about uranium could present a radiological threat and raise nuclear security concerns. <\/p>\n<p>Natural uranium cannot be used immediately for energy production or as bomb fuel. To make it a weapon, you will need to use a complex enrichment process that includes gas diffusion and centrifugation. <\/p>\n<p>Experts warn that uranium could still be obtained by groups with the right resources and means to make 12 pounds of weapons-grade material. <\/p>\n<p><b>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The loss of knowledge about the present location of nuclear material may present a radiological risk, as well as nuclear security concerns,&#8221; According to the IAEA.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;Read more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/energy-environment\/2-5-tons-of-uranium-missing-in-libya-un-nuclear-watchdog-agency-says\">According to UN nuclear watchdog agency, 2.5 tons of uranium are missing from Libya<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations nuclear watchdog told member states Wednesday it is searching for 2.5 tons of uranium that have gone missing from a site in war-torn Libya this week, raising concerns over safety and nuclear proliferation.
