I believe an emphasis should be on "claims".
From what I know of nuclear technology, the reactor grade uranium and plutonium is far too low to be used in a fission device. Reactor grade is normally between 3-5%. Weapons grade is at 90%.
The most they could do with the material is make a dirty bomb.
