Nuclear summit told how Georgia 'foiled plot to sell weapons-grade uranium' | World news | The Guardian: "Georgian security forces have foiled a criminal plot to sell weapons-grade uranium on the black market, the country's president told a gathering of world leaders yesterday.
The revelation brought a sense of urgency to the Washington summit on nuclear security, where Barack Obama called on the rest of the world 'not simply to talk, but to act' to destroy vulnerable stockpiles of nuclear material, or to safeguard them against theft by terrorists.
Last night, the US president welcomed an announcement by his Russian counterpart to shut down his country's last plant producing plutonium, in the Siberian, formerly closed city of Zheleznogorsk. Obama said it demonstrated 'Russia's leadership on nuclear issues'."
