Radiation Hustled On Market
European investigators report small amounts of suspect Soviet origin uranium and plutonium appearing on the black market in at least four countries. Cases involve sellers passing off weakly enriched material as weapons grade, with authorities warning the nuclear security may be at risk as the Soviet breakup continues. In Augsburg Germany police busted a sting arresting two former Soviet emigrants for attempting to sell 2 pounds of slightly enriched uranium pellets for 1.16 million dollars. The material was found in a lead lined container in a car trunk and is described as impure fuel processing scrap, far from weapons grade.
