Soviet Cosmos 1402 likely reenters mid February with radioactive fuel
Officials say Cosmos 1402 carried a 110 pound nuclear fuel package that was irradiated by neutrons in orbit. The Soviets reportedly ejected the reactor section earlier, and U.S. radar tracked its tumbling path from Florida to the Indian Ocean via multiple regions. Emergency teams in Las Vegas were stood down after the satellite fell.
