Yes remember the administraon has been criticized for allowed barrels full of low enriched uranium be looted from an iraq nuclear site.
How exactly do we know that if the barrel were looted? I know the IAEA sealed some stuff, but if the barrels were looted, we cant be sure they were still sealed.

Uranium Ore
The 'Yellow Cake' Uranium ore that was found in barrels at the abandoned stroage facility,
that had at one time been a storage area for a failed enrichment program.
There are many types of Uranium ores, which occur naturally, usually near ares with a
history of volcanic activity. I'm not sure if Iraq has/had any mining facillities, but it is a
fact that Iran has Uranium mines, as does much of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa,
North America, and South America. Matter of fact any continential land mass has a
source of Uranium ore that can be mined if so desired, Pitchblend was a source of
material for raduim in the 1898 when the Curries were doing thier research in radiation,
and it was the source for the Plutonium that was used for the early bomb developments.
Other Uranium ores were used by the ton in glass making because of the color that
it gave the finished glass products. Uranium ore is probably available on E-Bay.
Uranium Ore on E-Bay
On the sealed materials at Iraq, the International commision that had surveyed them
when they were sealed, and had revisited them just before the war began, was allowed
to go back to the site and verify what had happened to the material. What they found is
that it had been dumped out on the ground and the containers stollen, the barrels were
more value to the people in the area (looters) that the contents were.
An enrichment program with the material on hand would have required hundreds of gas
centrifuges to be made, and a very long time to accumulate refined material that
would be at the low end of weapons grade. A 'Trash Bomb'. on the other hand could
be made by just blowing up the barrels with a stick of dynamite and scattering debris
to the wind. Low grade contamination in the local area of scatter.
