GEORGIA WANTS TO SELL ITS WEAPONS-GRADE URANIUM.

With Russia and the U.S. unable to agree on a plan to transfer some 20 kilograms of Soviet-era highly-enriched uranium to Russia from Georgia’s Physics Institute (see Monitor, January 6), the director says the U-235 is for sale to anyone who would use it for civilian purposes. Georgi Kharadze also said that Georgia would not consider offers from "rogue regimes." In theory, the Georgian material is enough for one atomic bomb. (AP, January 7)
