Viet Nam Claims Huge Seizures of US Uranium
On 13 September, Viet Nam's Atomic Energy Commission announced
that, since 1993, a special unit had confiscated 591 pounds of
depleted uranium osmium and 1,136 tons of low-grade uranium.
According to the Commission's Director, Nguyen Tien Nguyen, the
process of confiscating the sub-weapons-grade material, apparently
left behind by the United States, is now complete, and the unit is
to be disbanded. The details of the confiscations had been
reported, Nguyen added, to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
