Maybe china can send another balloon for reconnaissance and maybe pedojoe will stay away from drag-trans story hour with the children. Nope …. I'm dreaming

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...

Hmmmm. Well natural uranium is not enriched. Not much use to a terrorist. Or Iran.

Or maybe they just forgot to carry the 2. I don’t trust any govt. entity to tell us the truth anymore. I don’t trust the media to report it accurately either. They always have an agenda which gets in the way of truth-telling. I’m not getting fooled again, especially after the scamdemic exposed all their lies.

Hillary probably sold it to the RussiansIran?

i would need to see their P&L statement to verify your claim.
I suspect it was wildly successful and profitable.
there is a pattern here...

“How much uranium does it take to create glass in a sandbox?”
Enough to pollute Oak Ridge and a big chunk of Washington state for 10,000 years.

It’s not my claim. I just copied and pasted what was in the article.
