ENHANCING NON-PROLIFERATION PARTNERSHIPS IN THE BLACK SEA REGION
The Government of Moldova should be commended for interrupting
an extremely troubling illicit sale of fissile material. The 9
kg of HEU on offer would have fetched $30 million on the black
market and contributed significantly to the 25 kg of HEU necessary
to fashion a small nuclear weapon. The sellers also claimed
to possess plutonium, an even more disturbing proliferation material.
The interrupted sale was the 19th publicly known interdiction
of fissile material since 1993. Destined for criminal or terrorist elements
in North Africa, this interdiction demonstrates that the
threat of loose nuclear material remains a central U.S. national security
challenge and that the creation of layered U.S. defenses
overseas against nuclear threats through the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative
Threat Reduction Program and other U.S. assistance programs
remains unfinished. Several apparent links to the Russian Federation
suggest that continued cooperation to strengthen its nuclear
security, law enforcement, and export control policies, laws, and
culture remains an urgent priority.Publications date: September 29, 2011
