This would technically be a violation of the NPT, but the IAEA pretty much accepted that the failure to disclose wasn't part of an effort to secretly develop nuclear weapons, and dropped the issue. From the article, it sounds like the uranium they lost is the same stuff they refined and enriched back in 2000 (which the JoongAng puts at 10%... which is apparently only an average -- some sources report that a very small quantity of the metal was enriched to 75%.) #3: Someone enriched it, and then neglected to let the IAEA know about it until four years later.

Or was it someone enriched the uranium above the accepted level of research? I may be mistaken, but didn’t Korea lose some uranium a couple of years ago?

Off for more enrichment. "The uranium? Uhh, we accidentally burned it. That's the ticket. Yeah, we thought it was a shoebox full of old gym socks. Now move along. nothing to see here."
