WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert Gates has ordered a full
inventory of all nuclear weapons and related materials after the
mistaken delivery of ballistic missile fuses to Taiwan, the Pentagon
said Thursday.

Gates told officials with the Air Force, Navy and Defense Logistics
Agency to assess inventory control procedures for the materials and to
submit a report within 60 days.

Earlier this week, Gates
directed Navy Adm. Kirkland H. Donald to take charge of a full
investigation of the delivery mistake in which four cone-shaped
electrical fuses used in intercontinental ballistic missile warheads
were shipped to the Taiwanese instead of the helicopter batteries they
had ordered.
