Georgia detains two for trying to sell radioactive uranium
TBILISI - Georgia said on Wednesday it had detained two people for handling and trying to sell $2.8 million worth of radioactive uranium-238, which can be developed into nuclear bomb material.
Uranium-238 is the least radioactive uranium isotope and makes up more than 99 percent of natural uranium. It cannot be used to produce the chain reaction needed for nuclear weapons, which uranium-235 is suitable for. "The object seized as a result of a search of the detainees has undergone forensic tests which concluded that the total weight of the object is 40.19 grams and it contains radioactive isotope uranium-238," security service investigator Savle Motiashvili told a briefing.He said the two suspects faced 5-10 years in prison if convicted of trafficking such radioactive materials.
