"Misuse of money"



Sorry, but "misuse of money" is theft, isn't it ?
 
One would hope that the security arrangements and accounting practices for active materials are better than those in the finance department. I would guess they are, but then what do I know ?
 
The problem is that the media will imply that theft is theft, and leave the public to draw their own conclusions, so that they can "maximise the impact" of their story.

Re only the "culture of theft" at LANL:  this is being very thoroughly reported by our local press, and has nothing whatever to do with the theft of radioactive material.  It seems that external audits of LANL purchasing practices have uncovered a number of very serious irregularities, but it has to do with misuse of money, not radioactive material.
