"Gaping holes" in Russia's nuclear security: New Scientist AFP A secret report by Swedish and Russian experts has exposed "gaping holes" in arrangements to stop theft of plutonium and highly-enriched uranium from nuclear sites in northwest Russia, the British weekly New Scientist says. Specialists at the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) and Atombesopastnost, a subsidiary of Russia's Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom), found a large number of the 35 sites on the Kola peninsula to have "insufficient" security measures, it says.
"The illicit trafficking problem is for real," says the report, according to New Scientist. The magazine released the article to the press on Wednesday ahead of publication on Saturday.
