#4 Molybdenum as I recall - So, they're sending their impure, weapons-*un*usable uranium off to someone who has the equipment to purify it to the point of weapons-usable (~19.75%) and return it to them - If it wasn't so diabolical, I'd be impressed with their chess skills

#5 Grampaw, I read your comment as saying they are sending it off to France for purification? Why would France do anything other than just refine it a bit and leave the Molybdenum in place?
