Later headlines: Oh oopsie they conveniently "lost it" and the investigation found no trace of how, how convenient!

Oh oopsie 8 months later a nuke that looks like it used that material was used on Russia/Iran/China but it was totally Ukraine/Kurds/ISIS who did it, they must have stolen it or bought it, tee hee America is sorry this happened and promises to take security more seriously with its private nuke sector.

Apollo affair

The Apollo affair or NUMEC affair was a 1965 incident in which a US company, NUMEC, in the Pittsburgh suburbs of Apollo and Parks Township, Pennsylvania, was investigated for losing 200–600 pounds (91–272 kg) of highly enriched uranium, with suspicions that it had gone to Israel's nuclear weapons program.
