Iraq tracks down missing radioactive material
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIraqi authorities on Sunday recover radioactive material that had gone missing in the country’s south more than three months earlier, the environment ministry’s spokesman says.
“We found the radioactive material that was lost by a Turkish… company,” Amir Ali Hassoun tells AFP.
The material “still had the same properties and did not lead to the injury of anyone,” Hassoun says.
He says the environment ministry will keep the material — Iridium-192 — until it can be returned to its owner, which another official earlier said was Turkish firm SGS.
