Subject: Chechen's vs. IAEA representatives wrt RITEG et al.
lightningtest    10/3/2005 11:01:40 AM
I've come accross the following quote;

"Last summer [2002] the Russian Nuclear Regulatory specialists inspected the lighthouses in Siberia. Inspection revealed terrible facts: most of them were described as in very bad condition. The radiation levels near the lighthouses exceeded the permitted level, which indicates the possibility of radioactive leakage.

But the scariest thing was that the inspectors have not found all the lighthouses they were looking for. There is a slim chance they were stolen and a big chance that the Russian authorities simply lack the full overview of the lighthouses' locations.

At the same time representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, were desperately looking for RTG in the mountains north in the former Russian republic of Georgia. The IAEA was afraid the Chechen rebels would use the radioactive source to build a radiological dispersal device, or RDD, such as a "dirty bomb". The Chechen rebels use the area near the Georgian?Russian border for training and hiding.

The American authorities believe terrorists connected with al-Quaida where previously hiding in Georgia.

When used with conventional explosives strontium-90 would cause more serious long-term damage than any ordinary bomb. The blast region would be contaminated with radiation and the population's health will be affected for many years.

The CIA has stated that they found manuals describing the manufacture of RDDs in the al-Quaida caves in Afghanistan"

The source is entirly public but I'll not be posting it as it contains much of interest to T's. My question primary question is who would the IAEA reprentatives be?

Secondary question - can anyone provide an update on the tally of RITEG located?

Finally is discusing history of this tech online verboten?
