Kadhafi asked for help in obtaining nuclear technology from several countries, including the People's Republic of China. Among these efforts, cooperation with Pakistan launched in 1977 it seemed the time to produce material results. Libya appears to be providing financial assistance, and later delivery of uranium "yellow cake" originated in Niger in the hope that it will eventually be compensated by the weapons from Pakistan. However, in an interview to an Indian newspaper in March 1986, Kadhafi said Libya is not helping Pakistan obtain a nuclear bomb. He said: "We consider nuclear weapons a big mistake against humanity."
Libya is a major partner in the nuclear field, however, was the Soviet Union. Small (ten megawatts), Soviet-supplied reactor began operating in Tajur (outside of Tripoli) in 1981. Three years later, a research center was opened on the same site employs 750 Libyan specialists and technicians with the help of Soviet personnel. Many students were sent abroad, a group of 200 was studying in the United States until early 1983, when the United States provided training Libyans in nuclear science. As noted in media reports, however, in mid-1990 talks between Libya and Russia suggests possible renewed Russian support for the nuclear efforts of Libya in Tajur, including reconstruction and long-term maintenance.
Libya plans to buy the power station from the Soviet Union, but was dissatisfied with the technology involved, in agreement with the Belgian company Belgonucleaire to take the engineering contract and supply much of the necessary equipment. After the United States objected, fearing the use of equipment in the development of weapons, Belgium, decided in 1984 to reject the U.S. $ 1 billion contract. Shortly thereafter, Moscow's commitment to construct a 880-megawatt power plant to be located in the Sirt [Surt] region was confirmed. It was to cost more than U.S. $ 4 billion, with repayments that stretch over 15 to 18 years. In early 1986, however, plan to build nine 440-megawatt nuclear power plant was indefinitely suspended.
Since 2002, the U.S. government's assessment was that, since the suspension of UN sanctions against Libya in 1999, Libya was able to increase access to dual-use nuclear technology. Although Libya would need significant foreign assistance to acquire nuclear weapons, Tripoli's nuclear infrastructure improvement and remains a concern. Gaddafi suggested this in the 25th March 2002 interview with Al-Jazirah when he said: "We are looking for break-up of weapons of mass destruction that the Israelis, we must continue to require otherwise, the Arabs will be eligible. possess a weapon."
U.S. naval operation in October 2003 LED interdicted shipment of uranium-enrichment components bound for Libya. U.S. officials say the attack may have helped prompt Libya to its promise to dismantle weapons of mass destruction. US-led naval operation resulted in the seizure of thousands of uranium centrifuge parts, bound for Libya, the German-registered freighter in the Mediterranean. The ship was seized on the basis of intelligence that it was carrying nuclear components, and that the ban was a huge success for the Bush administration's expansion of the Security Initiative PSI. Began in early 2003, the PSI includes the United States and more than a dozen other countries are working together to prevent illegal transport, sea, land or air weapons of mass destruction materials that could end up in the hands of terrorist groups or rogue states. Source of centrifuge parts bound for Libya was discovered.
On 19 December 2003 Libya agreed to destroy all its chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons. Notice surprise after nine months of secret talks between Libyan, American and British officials. Libya has agreed to abide by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Shahram Chubin, director of studies at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, believes Gaddafi is paving the way for a secure legacy for his son. "I think that Libya - and especially its leadership - it is preparing for succession, they have to admit that it makes sense that back to Libya the amount of the international community, and to do this they must ignore. With the [weapons] programs that they have many, many years, which clearly serves no purpose and the rational. I think it's recognition that Gaddafi wants to let his son succeed him and to leave Libya in a slightly better position if he gets rid of these useless weapons, they have created unnecessary mistrust and suspicion by their neighbors and, of course, the international community as a whole, including Britain and the United States, "Chubin said.
October 2003 seizure of parts of "spin" is little more than two months before the publication of a surprise 19th December that Libya, after negotiations with the United States and Britain, had agreed to dismantle its nuclear secrets and other weapons of mass-of-destruction program. Prohibition may have been a factor in the final decision of Libya to end its covert weapons effort. October ban came several months after the start of secret talks between the government of Muammar Gaddafi and the United States and Britain for weapons programs. Mr. Ereli said that shortly after the seizure, Libya agreed for the first time that experts from both countries to visit their weapons facilities.
Libya launched a dialogue in mid-March 2003, when he sought to mediate in the UK talks with the U.S. about weapons of mass destruction. A team of U.S. and British intelligence officers spent about two weeks of Libya in October and again in December 2003. During the visit, the team of American and British inspectors went to 10 sites related to Libya's nuclear efforts, along with dozens of others related to chemical and missile programs [some reports suggested that there were ten Nuclear related sites visited, while other accounts suggested that these was taken to dozens of sites for all]. Libya allowed American weapons inspectors visited the sites where they saw the centrifuges for uranium enrichment, which was more advanced than what Washington thinks. Weapons would require hundreds of centrifuges, called a cascade, that significant quantities of uranium. The inspection team saw only a few centrifuges, they saw a waterfall, and Libya denied that the enriched uranium is produced.
Libya is a signatory to nuclear non-proliferation treaty, allowing limited IAEA inspections, but now plans to sign an additional protocol to the agreement which allows more intrusive and unannounced inspections. The first meetings between Libyan officials and the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency could be the beginning of a long and complex process to verify Tripoli's nuclear ambitions. Head of nuclear agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, has opened talks on 20th December 2003 with Libya on the process of future inspections of nuclear activities of users Tripoli. Similar work was done by the UN nuclear watchdog in 1991 after South Africa announced it would voluntarily abandon nuclear weapons-program. Senior IAEA inspectors visited the country to gather information on nuclear material, the list of imports, laboratory applications and engineering facilities. They also conduct environmental sampling in the Kalahari. In the case of South Africa, the IAEA's nuclear facilities located in guarantees with regular inspection and destruction or weapons-related equipment or converted to peaceful nuclear use. It took years.
In January 2004, Saif al-Islam said Libya's Gadaffi has spent 40 million dollars on nuclear components, including centrifugal, from various black market dealers, including Pakistani scientists. Pakistani scientists get as much as $ 100 million over several years, beginning in the late 1990s.
Details of Libya's secret nuclear program emerged from a month long investigation by the U.S., UK and the UN inspectors who have obtained access to formerly secret nuclear facilities in and around Tripoli. By the end of January 2004, investigators learned that Libya was secretly received thousands of parts for gas centrifuges, as well as machine tools for making additional centrifuges. Libya has also acquired designs for making nuclear bombs. However, the key design elements are missing, and Libyan scientists lacked the expertise to assess plans or build such weapons.
Libya began purchasing components for a relatively simple gas centrifuge made mostly of aluminum, beginning in the late 1990's. After getting the parts for about 100 machines, Libya instead began to focus on sophisticated design maraging steel centrifuges. Libya has agreed to buy 10,000 of maraging steel centrifuges, enough to produce bombs even ten years. Some parts of the centrifuges came from factories built expressly for the production of nuclear components for the black market, including a possible production site in Malaysia. Libya's centrifuges are of the same design as machines used in Pakistan.
Libya has purchased a turnkey property in which the foreign supplier of parts for supplying gas centrifuges and assembly and test them. Libya's acquisition of a uranium enrichment facility capable of producing enough Heu several bombs a year.
On 27 January 2004, the U.S. plane from Libya's nuclear weapons components that country agreed to give up. The White House welcomed the cooperation of Libya and said their good faith in the dismantling of weapons will be reciprocated. It was announced several hours after the U.S. transport planes landed in the central Tennessee carries about 25 tons of weapons Libyan program components including centrifuge parts, uranium, and sensitive documents. Airlift was the most dramatic move since Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi concluded the agreement 19th December 2003 with the United States and Britain to give up weapons of mass destruction programs in an attempt to end two decades of international isolation and U.S. sanctions.
