The material could not be used in a conventional nuclear weapon but could in theory be put in a so-called "dirty bomb" - an explosive device spreading the radioactive material over a wide area.
Experts have long warned about the danger posed by the large amounts of such material held in hospitals and other locations around the world under insufficient security. The Agency was informed about the December 2 theft by Mexico's CNSNS nuclear security authority, the IAEA said.
Similar incidents Last year alone, the IAEA recorded 17 cases of illegal possession and attempts to sell nuclear materials and 24 incidents of theft or loss. It says this is the "tip of the iceberg".
Many cases have involved former parts of the Soviet Union, such as Chechnya, Georgia and Moldova - where in 2011 several people were arrested trying to sell weapons-grade uranium ...
