Abstract: This article provides information on a number of thefts from the Ulba Metallurgical Plant in Ust-Kamenogorsk, and links the thefts to increased U.S. Assistance for Material Protection, Control and Accounting (MPC&A) at Kazakhstani nuclear facilities.

Three separate instances of nuclear theft are noted. On 7 December 1995, Kazakhstani special forces detained two Kazakhstani citizens in an automobile in Ust-Kamenogorsk containing 4.1 kg of uranium, 1 kg of thorium, and 18.36 kg of indium. The men were attempting to transport the material to buyers in Russia. Criminal charges were brought against them.

In the course of the investigation into the case, Kazakhstani officials discovered an additional 145.7 kg of uranium in the possession of the two men. In a separate case, on 10 December 1995, Kazakhstani special forces discovered that 20 boxes of radioactive thorium, weighing a total of 437.6 kg, had been stolen from the Ulba (Ust-Kamenogorsk) Metallurgy Plant. Further investigation revealed that the material had been stolen by Ulba workers and guards responsible for the storage and protection of metals and radioactive materials. Some of the missing materials were found at the homes of these individuals, but some of the materials had already been sold to criminal traders in the Russian city of Novosibirsk. These materials subsequently were found and confiscated by Russian Federal Security Service officials in Novosibirsk.
