A strong source of radiation was detected in Vladivostok Sea Port
A strong source of radiation (300mR/h) was detected in Vladivostok Sea Port on 22 June, 2005 by radiation control system “Yantar”. The source was hidden in metal scrap carried by a small truck, that arrived at the port.
As the specialists of Primtechnopolis informed RIA Novosti, they supposed that the arrested rod is a component of specialized equipment – radioisotope depth density meter.
Primorye Transport Office of Public Prosecutor has brought a case regarding detection of a strong source of radiation in Vladivostok Fish Port. Action is brought against Article 220 Part 1 of RF Criminal Code (unauthorized handling of radioactive materials). http://www.rian.ru/incidents/20050623/40745678.html
