Come to think of it, maybe Israel took it away from them in an Entebbe type raid

One hopes. Or they might've simply bought it.

Just for sh*ts 'n' giggles, because I was curious, as well as for a bit of perspective:

Using the density of U3O8 (8.3 g/cm3) as a starting point for the density of the concentrates, and knocking off a full 2.0 g/cm3 to allow for impurities and packaging, the volume of the missing concentrates could be described by a cube about 29 inches on a side, assuming dense packing. Or put differently, ~105 gallons- so only a couple drums. Not that hard to hide, nor to overlook.

15 kg of U-235 (enough for a weapon) at 19.1 g/cm3 is a volume of ~786 cc, or just about a shot beyond 2 12 oz beer cans. Stuff's dense, and therefore small. Not hard to hide...
