It's much more likely that they're there because of material stolen from medical devices or thermal generators from isolated weather stations, as those are known sources of factual nuclear material theft while nuclear weapon theft is entirely speculative.

@airthrowDBT Oh yeah most of the people who stole that stuff were only looking for scrap metal. There was one case where the guys who found a radioactive thermal generator suffered severe burns because they slept leaning against the RTG since the object was warm.

@SoulScream1984 the fact is that they've never been used. So either they were never missing, or were recovered by agencies posing as terrorist buyers.

Rufus, AKA the Demon Core, was meant to the the third drop over Japan and thus it had a low safety margin. It was safely handled by hand until people got cocky and violating safety procedures. They're not little reactors. Pu-239 is an alpha emitter with a 24,000 year half life. If they were little reactors they'd get poisoned after a short while with fission products and have to get disassembled and reprocessed too frequently to make a nuclear arsenal impractical to maintain.
