System tracking uranium sales draws GAO fire
UPI reports the GAO criticizes the U S uranium export tracking system as incomplete and inaccurate. Thousands of pounds of highly enriched uranium shipped overseas are unaccounted for amid concerns over potential terrorist misuse and limited international cooperation. Only 7 percent of exported material has been returned for use, allowing weapons-grade material to accumulate abroad. The Energy Department defends efforts to improve safeguards and says the GAO may overstate the threat.
