| 2011-12-16 |
| Russian authorities have seized radioactive material that can only be obtained from a nuclear reactor from the luggage of a passenger on a flight from Moscow to Tehran. The luggage contained 18 metal objects in individual steel cases, according to Russia's Federal Customs Service. Initial tests showed that radiation levels in the area were 20 times more than normal. The objects were the radioactive isotope Sodium 22 and were sent to a Russian prosecutor's office that deals with air and water transport. A criminal investigation has been opened. |
