The graphic on page 36 is a map of the world, showing how much highly enriched uranium is posessed by different countries.
The graphic is extremely misleading, because what the brain processes is based on the visual image of colors, and this tell the brain that the US, russia are similar, and that canada and china are not far behind.
The reality, which is in the numbers in the grahic, is that the US has 194 TONS of enriched, bomb grade Uranium, and the USSR and china have, respectively, 33 and 1 ton of bomb grade uranium.
the online version of this story doesn't seem to have the graphic
