In the decade since the breakup of the Soviet Union, the world has occasionally heard rumours of Nukes being smuggled out of the former USSR.
Most experts believe the public has only seen a fraction of what has really happened.

FAR EAST ASIA, 19 OCTOBER 2003
Two month ago, officials of the PRC notified the IAEA in Vienna that they had intercepted a "suitcase-sized nuclear device" being smuggled out of the Far East Russian Millitary District into China.
Subsequent investigations by China and IAEA confirmed the weapon, with a yield of 5kt, was Russian in origin and came from a depot in East Siberia. However, details on the extent of the smuggling operation remained sketchy. Citing lack of effective Russian cooperation with the investigation as well the threat of terrorist organisations being armed with nuclear weapons, China has now filed a motion with the Security Council that demands an inventory of all nuclear devices in Eastern Siberia and the placement of these weapons in internationally guarded storage sites with the exception of fixed site ICBMs. Negotiations on resoluton 3454 have dragged on for weeks. The UNSC is very concerned that Moscow does not appear to be in control of their Far East Millitary District. Nevertheless, some nuclear members of the UNSC wish to prevent a precedent being set that might be used against them in future.
Last week, the PLAN boarded a Russian freighter which had left Vladivostock and was entering the Yellow Sea. Aboard, they discovered a 155mm nuclear artillery shell.
Immediately, China demanded from the Russian government a commitment to take "Public, Swift, and Verifiable steps to conform fully with draft resolution 3454 or face the consequences imposed by an international coalition of countries dedicated to non-proliferation of WMDs."
Russia has publicly denounced the ultimatum as "a declaration of war".
