Nuclear Smugglers Arrested in Belarus
My understanding is that Uranium 238 isn't all that dangerous. It's the most common form of uranium found in nature. But the fact that they were caught in a sting operation makes me think that there was an underlying motivation to the smuggling which was a little more worrisome. At least these guys were caught. But how many others haven't?
ITAR-TASS:
Two Belarussian citizens have been detained on the Lithuanian border on suspicion of radioactive contraband, a source at the Belarussian Interior Ministry said on Tuesday.
A metal container with a caption "Uranium 238. 1991" was found on their car...
The operation was planned for several months.
