Large amounts of uranium may have gone missing from a nuclear technology company in Sweden. The American Central Intelligence Agency fears a worst-case scenario where the material has already fallen into terrorist hands, newspaper Expressen reports.
“The company (Ranstad Mineral) is a security risk and we have taken the matter to top level to get the Swedes to stop them,” a CIA spokesman told the Swedish newspaper.
The CIA operative claims to know that the little Swedish company has educated Syrian nuclear physicists in the treatment of uranium. He also has information that a Swedish consultancy has sold nuclear equipment to Syria that can be used in the treatment of radioactive material.
“If it transpires that radioactive or nuclear material has been sent on from Sweden to Syria then this is a very serious matter for Sweden,” the CIA source said.
After a meeting with the CIA operative Swedish authorities raided Ranstad Mineral several times and shut the company down on the grounds of deficient security.
“It was one of the worst things I have seen. The company has extremely serious deficiencies in its registration system,” said Carl Magnus Larsson, divisional leader of the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority after their inspection.
UPDATE: Here’s an AFP release in which the spokesman for the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate tells us all to roll over and go back to sleep
http://www.spacewar.com/2004/040303153804.x8rejg7a.html
while he was at it, he took a slap at the US and the CIA.
“We keep close tabs on this stuff. None of the uranium is missing,” said Anders Joerla, a spokesman for the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI).
SKI has disclosed that the Swedish company Ranstad Minerals, which recycles nuclear waste into uranium, has shown some discrepancies in records on the amount of nuclear waste treated and the amount of uranium it has in store.
Since the 1990s, as much as 100 kilos (220 pounds) of the potentially bomb-making material is unaccounted for, Joerla said.
But he said such descrepencies were often due to calculation errors and there was nothing to indicate that the uranium had actually gone missing.
“When you produce uranium from nuclear waste, it’s a very complex process,” Joerla told AFP. “It’s very difficult to calculate how much uranium is actually in the nuclear products... If you overestimate how much uranium is in the products, records will show less uranium than expected.”
Reports in the Swedish press on Wednesday said the US Central Intelligence Agency feared that the uranium that remains unaccounted for may have fallen into “terrorist” hands.
A CIA agent quoted by the Swedish daily Expressen also charged that Ranstad Minerals was a “security risk”.
“We have acted at a high level to get the Swedes to stop the company in Ranstad,” the agent, whose name was not revealed, told the paper. “It is incredible that the the Swedish security police haven’t stopped (this) company.”
Joerla however insisted that SKI keeps all dealings with nuclear material under tight supervision.
“We don’t have much faith in the CIA,” he added. “They couldn’t find any (nuclear weapons) in Iraq, and they’re not going to find any missing uranium in Sweden.”

First; if this is correct. It wasa company. Not the Swedish state that sold it.
Companies all over the world would sell to get a profit. Hell, they even would sell their grand ma's eyes if they could get away with that.
Even many American companies sell their soul to get a dime. Look on how many of the largest corporates that do business in the shadow over in Iran.
This, when it boils down was probably just a smoke alarm to fit in presidents Assad's bedroom.

Probably nothing more than piss poor accounting the sort of thing that happened to NUMEC in Apollo PA ,USA which was run by Zalman Shapiro who failed to carry out proper audits of enriched uranium processing I think they managed to find 100kg in 1982 when the plant was being decommissioned and smaller amounts after that none of which was on the books.

Ah, he just took back some parts of the the old russian baltic coast(unopposed), which was taken from Russia 50 years or so earlier, but he managed to stop a complete invasion of Russia.

Vacon was is wrong depending on what you conscider swedish national territory. Finland was conscidered a part of the national territory by some, is Scania a real national part of Sweden or Denmark or neither?

Just as they later invaded us.
If memory serves me right the Russian army invaded Sweden and held territory as far south as Boden while also invading us in the south with their navy. So, you might wanna check up on your history there.
And Kalle, I Count the swedish nation how it is today.

Norway get's back Jamtland and Herjedalen! Doesn't this also mean that you have to surrender your sovereign rule back to Denmark since Jamtland, Herjedalen, and Norway all belonged to Denmark at the time? ;)
Denmark held Norway for most of it's (Norway's) history, then Sweden finally managed to take Norway from Denmark, only to slowly let it go. First step was that they allowed the Norwegians to rule themselves, then we formed the Swedish-Norwegian Union at the end of the 19th century, which ended with Norway becoming a completely sovereign country in the early 20th century.
Here's another bit of trivia for you - when Sweden and Norway was in union with each other there was a lot of sentiment in Sweden (can't speak for Norway - I think you guys were more interested in just being free) to form one big country and/or union out of the Nordic countries - for you non-Nordic readers that would be Iceland Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. This can be seen in the Swedish national anthem "Du Gamla Du Fria" (You Old - You Free) that does mention Sweden once but speaks of Nord & Norden (the Nordic countries) a total of five times.

I might have to point out that in order for a country to be occupied all of it's territory doesn't have to be occupied - it's enough that a substantial part of the country is controlled by the invading/occupying force.

No, Sweden has not been occupied. If you advance with a small expeditionary force in to a country's practically unhabited wasteland far up north it would'nt exactly be fair to say that you have occupied the whole country.. Nor would you say Sweden was occupying Russia if we by next week sent a small expeditionary force along the Siberian coast in the arctic. As for one last example I would'nt say Sweden was occupied if russian forces occupied Gotland (an island).

As for your example of Gotland, even though Gotland constitutes a rather sizeable portion of Swedish territory I'll agree that it's not mainland Sweden, and therefore is excluded from this discussion based on the particular issues involving occupation of islands.
Sweden has been invaded and occupied with greater force than just expeditionary units.
Ok, then just go ahead and tell me when and by whom Sweden was occupied.. This country has never been occupied and that I would say is a well known and undisputed fact. If you however mean invaded that's first of all a different term and secondly a term that's also based on a different criteria.

Sweden has of course been invaded, but only parts have been occupied. So NO, "Sweden" has never been occupied.
The only thing close to an occupation would be the Danes before Wasa threw them out, but the technicalities behind those events would not let us call that an occupation... rather a Swedish uprising and breakaway from the Kalmar-union (bloody Danes didn't know their place!). p-)

Oh, and while your doing that, please take the following definition into account as well:
Straight off of Totalförsvarets website (http://www.totalforsvaret.se/pcm/01_faktabasen/ordlista/ordlista.xml#O):
Ockupation Besittningstagande eller besättande. Folkrättsligt innebär ockupation dels besittningstagande av herrelöst territorium, dels militärt besättande av annan stats territorium.
As I've previously stated - the invading nation doesn't have to control 100% of the country in order for them to be considered an occupying force.

One final thing - your location in your profile: You're in Stockholm, Sweden. The EU is not a nation.No, I live in Stockholm, EU. EU is an Union.The E.U. is a union, but Sweden is still a sovereign country even though we're a member of the E.U. So your location should (if anything) be Stockholm, Sweden, E.U.Excuse but what a hell has my location text with this topic to do???, Right me if I am wrong........It's been my pleasure to correct you. My comments in regards to your location was a separate item that I wanted to correct. It really cracks me up how someone who speaks so boldly about Sweden's past doesn't list it properly in his profile location. You won't see any Brits write London, E.U. or any French write Paris, E.U., etc etc.
And , No. Your information is completly wrong. Russia was here, They were in the outside of Stockholm but they never succede to invade Sweden.Sigh... How is it wrong, and how the hell did they get to Stockholm without invading? The russians INVADED Sweden and OCCUPIED Swedish territory. However, they did not CONQUER Sweden.
Russian has invade us, but they never succed to take command or counquer the country. And That's it, No hurt feelings...I see my translation helped.

Oh.. fer crying out loud... :roll:
Vacon, get yer ass back to school damnit, you have LOTS to learn... :bash:
Sweden has of course been invaded, but only parts have been occupied. So NO, "Sweden" has never been occupied.
The only thing close to an occupation would be the Danes before Wasa threw them out, but the technicalities behind those events would not let us call that an occupation... rather a Swedish uprising and breakaway from the Kalmar-union (bloody Danes didn't know their place!). p-)
You Morrow, Go back to school. I've Never said Sweden were Occupied.!! :bash:

Amazing, Vacon has been a member for 40 days and have written over 200 posts, all of which are idiotic.
No offence Vacon but you must have noticed that no one ever agrees with you.

My comment about you level of knowledge was not connected to the later specification of wether Sweden has ever been occupied or not, that was a general contribution of information on that particular topic.

Norway get's back Jamtland and Herjedalen! Doesn't this also mean that you have to surrender your sovereign rule back to Denmark since Jamtland, Herjedalen, and Norway all belonged to Denmark at the time? ;)
Oh... errrm...
Eh... Neh... Keep it! We don't WANT IT! Cuz we got the fjords.... ;) ;D

You mean i should write Bromma, Stockholm, Stockholm län, Uppland/södemanland, Svealand, Sweden, Scandinavian, North Europe, EU, Europe, World, System, Galaxy, Univers et.cNo, like I plainly stated previously you should write "Stockholm, Sweden." Whether or not you tack the dispicable "E.U." onto that (as in after) is up to you. So, to make it abundantly clear you have the following options:
1. Leave it blank or come up with something witty (I wouldn't try too hard at the witty part just yet if I was you.)
2. Write "Stockholm," "Sweden," or "E.U"
3. Write "Stockholm, Sweden"
4. Write "Stockholm, Sweden, E.U."Any of those would be accurate, but leaving Sweden out when writing both Stockholm and E.U. implies that Sweden no longer exists and instead has been usurped by the E.U. - and where not there just yet (hopefully we'll never get to that point.)
Once you get into high school you should learn about these things - so don't worry, just fix it for now and it will all become plain as day to you later.

Since I doubt Vacon took anything to heart I can only hope that someone who didn't actively participate in the discussion might have learned a thing or two.
As I've previously stated - the invading nation doesn't have to control 100% of the country in order for them to be considered an occupying force.
You're absolutely right but you're still absolutely wrong. If you had been saying that part of Sweden once was occupied I would agree. But saying Sweden as a nation has been under the rule of an occupying force is wrong and your dictionary check-up does not support your case.
Was Britain occupied by Argentina in the 1980's? No, but the Falkland Islands were..

But saying Sweden as a nation has been under the rule of an occupying force is wrong and your dictionary check-up does not support your case.I never said that Sweden as a nation has been under the rule of an occupying force. I think you read to much into my statements. What I've been trying to say (and this is where and why I threw in the dictionary definitions) is that Sweden has been both invaded and occupied (having the Russian army camp out in Umeå and holding all territory north of there for 6 moths consitutes an occupation.)
Vacon stated that Sweden had never been invaded - incorrect.
Vacon then stated that Sweden had never been occupied - also incorrect.
Had he said that Sweden has never lost it's rule to an occupying force since the days of Vasa - then he would have been correct. I was trying to point out that a nation can be under occupation without losing it's sovereign rule.
So, going back to the Falklands - yes, British territory was invaded and occupied. But as I've stated before in the case of Gotland - islands come under a different treatment. Had there been Argentinian troops in Wales for a few moths then I would have said that they were being occupied. See what I'm saying?

Let us just conclude this topic, and start another one in offtopic about this other crap? =)
Conclusion: Yet another fascist sees ties between two countries that have nothing in common, since it fits his picture of the world and his political agenda.
"Sweden - Syria - Al Quedia...see, everyone can see the dots connecting. Now, lets invade the euro-trash."
Bring it on.
