Sorry, don't mean to hijack a Hungarian thread, but I found a little curious thing a couple days ago that's a little relevant.
>For 48 hours, the two Russians and their Belarussian accomplice holed up in the dreary border town of Brest, waiting for two contacts from Poland to show up. To kill time and the autumn chill, the trio opened a bottle of vodka and began a round-the-clock drinking party
When the Poles arrived in the city of 238,000 in western Belarus, the Russians produced the lead capsule they had stolen from a top-secret installation 1,200 miles to the east. The Poles examined it. Police, tipped in advance, then swooped down on the apartment to block the sale of illegal contraband–5 1/2 pounds of uranium
>In the jargon of international security, the problem is broadly known as "loose nukes." Raw and processed uranium, the technology to transmute fissionable material for military ends and the knowledge that created the Soviet nuclear arsenal–they are all now for sale or often subject to safeguards that many find dangerously flimsy
But the administration of Russian President Boris N. Yeltsin is sufficiently worried about proliferation to have created a new department in the foreign intelligence service, headed by Yevstafiyev himself, to keep an eye on nuclear and chemical assets in the former Soviet Union and other nations
>What happened in Brest last Oct. 17 is a good indicator of the "loose nukes" problem. The arrested Russians turned out to hail from Glazov, home to a closed military enterprise, the Chepetsky Mechanical Factory
>Tracing the uranium back to the Volga basin town, police uncovered a gang of nuclear smugglers and arrested 11 people. They recovered more than 200 pounds of stolen, but unenriched uranium, said Victor I. Yefimenko of the Russian state prosecutor's office. As of last week, Russian authorities didn't know how much uranium had been taken. And they were investigating another serious incident–the theft from a scientific facility in Podolsk near Moscow of 3.3 pounds of uranium that Mokhov said was "highly enriched," without providing specifics

More recently, Poland asked America if they could have a couple of their nukes. Yet when reports came up of this, Poland denied it ever asked. Lost nukes rotting away without new material, maybe? Rly makes you think.
