The IAEA is lying. This CANNOT be partially enriched or depleted Uranium that these Marines have found.

Note - Their (Marine) reports said that the material in drums was highly radioactive. First point - the Marines would know better than to open a drum. Second point - Uranium produces Alpha Particles/Radiation. It cannot penentrate even the thin walls of a paper drum. If this was Uranium in these drums (especially Yellow Cake (AKA Uranium Hexafluoride). It would not be readily detectable outside of the drum. Third point - unless things have changed radically in the military, the type of detection instruments these Marines would have would be for the purpose of detecting high energy Gamma Radiation (Gamma Rays). They would probably not be able to detect weak Alpha particles.

Therefore, if the Marine reports are true. Then the material in these drums would be more consistent with nuclear reactor wastes which would produce strong emanations of Gamma Rays. Reactor waste would contain Plutonium that could be extracted for weapons and other radioactive isotopes like Cesium 137 which would be a terrorist's dream stuff. Cesium 137 would be very effective in permanently contaminating land, water supplies, etc.
