Nuke smuggling alarms German officials in Frankfurt
German authorities report a surge in attempts to smuggle radioactive materials from the former East bloc to the West. Over a weekend in Frankfurt police found cesium-137 and other substances in train lockers and a car trunk at an airport hotel, with indications that more than 40 pounds of weapons grade uranium may have entered the black market. Five Polish citizens were arrested amid these seizures, highlighting ongoing risks and dangers to health and the environment from improper handling and mislabeling of radioactive materials.
