How easy is it to illegally buy a nuclear weapon in the United States? If the experience of investigators from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is any indication, the answer is much easier than you might think.
According to reports, all it took was an easily forged license and a fake shell company to convince two U.S. vendors to ship dangerous radioactive material to what they thought was a legitimate source – but that in reality was just a sting operation.
A new report from GAO about the matter stated that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is utterly failing to properly regulate the sale and movement of nuclear weapons in this country if it is really this easy to get them through fraud. (Related: Check out this earlier piece we published about different types of nuclear weapons and how they affect humans.)
The report explained that the watchdog group merely “provided a copy of a license that GAO forged to the two vendors” and voila: GAO “subsequently obtained invoices and paid the vendors.”
